I post this item from back at the end of January not to revive debate about President Trump’s initial executive order on immigration, which is now defunct anyway and which has been replaced by a new one, but to signal that I’m far from alone in thinking that Latter-day Saints should find special significance in anything that begins to look even remotely like a government distinction based upon religious adherence — and that we should be especially sensitive and alert to the threat potentially posed by such things.
