A statement<\/a><\/strong> released Friday from the bishops of New Mexico:<\/p>\n

As bishops of a border state, we respond with dismay to President Donald Trump\u2019s overturning of asylum protections for victims of domestic violence and carrying out the practice of separating families to stem migration.<\/p>\n

The Bishops of New Mexico strongly support Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, President of United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, whose statement calls for an immediate end to the policy which removes domestic violence as a reason for asylum. We join the cardinal in condemning the separation of children from their parents. The devastation this inflicts upon the children has life-long consequences for their wellbeing and is a serious violation to the rights of children.<\/p>\n

We are greatly appalled at those who would promote such terrible border policies. Seeking asylum is not a crime, and those who are seeking it should not be compared to those committing strong-arm robbery, a felony.<\/p>\n

We pray the United States Department of Justice will reverse these practices, as they constitute human rights violations and an offense against the most important unit in society, the family.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
