WASHINGTON—The
Migration and Refugee Services of USCCB and Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA)
today issued the following statement on the ongoing efforts to reunite children
separated from their families at the border.
“As we have long done, CCUSA and Migration and Refugee
Services of USCCB are lending our experience and expertise to support Catholic
Charities agencies in their efforts to reunite families and care for immigrant
children during this sensitive time. While we strongly oppose the policies that
led to these families being separated, we remain committed to working to ensure
their safe reunification. Protection of families is a foundational
element of Catholic Social Teaching and this moment calls on all people of good
