To: Members of Congress

Dear Members of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives:

As leaders of religious congregations and faith-based organizations across the United States, we are united in grief over the tragic death of Kathryn Steinle. We are also troubled by the tenor of debate, as some are seeking to use this tragedy to paint both immigrants and community-policing practices as national threats. We implore all Members of Congress to not allow the politicization of this tragedy to punish entire communities for the actions of one individual. The faith community has a responsibility to defend individuals who are marginalized by society as we work for the common good of all. It is a moral outrage to see sensationalism shaping new forms of stereotypes and discrimination against immigrants.

The concept of sanctuary is rooted in an ancient and biblically-based tradition wherein communities of faith have provided safety and respite to individuals who have been cast out by society. The Sanctuary Movement that formed in the United States during the 1980s saved thousands of lives and helped convince the U.S. government to recognize the refugee status of Central Americans fleeing death squads. Around the same time, select cities declared themselves “sanctuary cities,” seeking to foster communities in which everyone feels safe, regardless of immigration status. Such policies do not, however, protect individuals from the criminal justice system, nor do they promote the release of individuals who have been convicted of serious offenses.

In the early 2000s, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) began implementing policies to force local police to serve as immigration enforcement officers through 287(g) agreements and the Secure Communities (SCOM) program. As implementation of these policies led to witnesses and victims of crime being deported -- including domestic violence survivors -- police departments saw a reduction in the reporting of crime. Recognizing that when local police are seen as immigration officers, immigrants are afraid to report crime, more than 320 jurisdictions across the United States have limited their collaboration with ICE. Due to this community pushback across the country, as well as federal rulings that ICE’s requests to detain individuals are unconstitutional without probable cause, SCOM was recently replaced by the Priority Enforcement Program.

Our congregations minister to people of all backgrounds, including individuals in the immigrant community who have witnessed and been victims of crime. It is vital for these individuals to know that they can go to the police for help, and for police to develop relationships with these communities. When all individuals can report dangerous situations without the fear of being deported and separated from their families, safety is increased for all community members. Policies that promote equal policing also help protect against racial profiling. We support the longstanding efforts that many cities and towns have made to foster trust between local law enforcement officers and all community members, regardless of their immigration status.

We are concerned that, in an attempt to respond to the tragic death of Kathryn Steinle, Congress will lose sight of the important role that community-based policing plays in establishing trust and cooperation between police and communities. We urge all Members of Congress to oppose legislation that would further criminalize undocumented immigrants or infringe on the rights of states, cities, localities and police departments to regulate how they interact with ICE.

We are committed to enacting policy reforms that improve our immigration system, and are against proposals that take us backward. Together, we stand ready to work with members of both chambers on immigration reform that provides opportunities for full citizenship, rather than punitive policies that harm communities.

Sincerely,

Faith leaders listed by state on following pages
