Show Notes
After federal immigration agents raided a busy South Park restaurant in late May, a wide coalition of leaders spoke out — including faith leaders.
Religious leaders across the country have vocalized opposition to the Trump administration's immigration policies. That includes the travel ban announced last week. It bars people from 12 countries from entering the U.S.
Still others are working to keep houses of worship safe from immigration enforcement.
On today's show, we invite a panel of local religious leaders — a pastor, a rabbi and an imam — to discuss how their faith implores them to fight for immigrant justice. And, the power of interfaith dialogue.
Guests:
- Fr. Scott Santarosa, pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe parish
- Imam Taha Hassane, imam of the Islamic Center of San Diego
- Rabbi Alexis Pearce, leader of Hinenu Havurah, a progressive Jewish collective in San Diego
