Beyond the Border: Covering Immigration

Participants in an intensive training program on covering immigration are already putting their new skills to work.

A year after a massive raid on an Iowa meat-packing plant, not far from his congregation, a Lutheran pastor decided to take some time off to draw connections between biblical narratives and illegal immigration.   Read More...

A program that allows local police to enforce federal immigration laws will now focus more on prosecuting criminals, but that change will not significantly alter how the program is run here, Frederick County Sheriff Chuck Jenkins said.   Read More...
