Catholic bishops issue nearly unanimous statement against Trump’s ‘indiscriminate’ deportations
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a rare statement admonishing the immigration policies of President Donald Trump.
The conference voted nearly unanimously to pass the statement at the Fall Plenary Assembly in Baltimore, Maryland, on Wednesday. There were 216 votes in favor of the statement, only five against, with three abstentions.
‘We recognize that nations have a responsibility to regulate their borders and establish a just and orderly immigration system for the sake of the common good.’
“As pastors, we the bishops of the United States are bound to our people by ties of communion and compassion in Our Lord Jesus Christ. We are disturbed when we see among our people a climate of fear and anxiety around questions of profiling and immigration enforcement,” read the special statement.
“We are saddened by the state of contemporary debate and the vilification of immigrants. We are concerned about the conditions in detention centers and the lack of access to pastoral care. We lament that some immigrants in the United States have arbitrarily lost their legal status,” the bishops added.
The statement went on to call for reform of immigration policies that would preserve national security while also respecting the human dignity of immigrants.
“We are troubled by threats against the sanctity of houses of worship and the special nature of hospitals and schools,” they continued. “We are grieved when we meet parents who fear being detained when taking their children to school and when we try to console family members who have already been separated from their loved ones.”
The statement also expressed opposition to “indiscriminate mass deportation” and called for the end of “dehumanizing rhetoric and violence” against immigrants as well as law enforcement.
“We recognize that nations have a responsibility to regulate their borders and establish a just and orderly immigration system for the sake of the common good,” the bishops added. “Without such processes, immigrants face the risk of trafficking and other forms of exploitation. Safe and legal pathways serve as an antidote to such risks.”
The last time the USCCB issued a similar statement was in 2013 against political policies related to contraceptives.

Person tried to ‘confront’ US attorney Alina Habba and destroyed property at her office, Bondi says
Acting U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba was the target of an alleged act of political intimidation according to a statement from Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Bondi revealed few details about the incident from Wednesday evening in a post on social media.
‘Any violence or threats of violence against any federal officer will not be tolerated. Period.’
“Last night, an individual attempted to confront one of our U.S. Attorneys — my dear friend @USAttyHabba — destroyed property in her office, and then fled the scene. Thankfully, Alina is ok,” wrote Bondi Thursday.
“Any violence or threats of violence against any federal officer will not be tolerated. Period,” she added. “This is unfortunately becoming a trend as radicals continue to attack law enforcement agents around the country.”
Habba posted a brief but defiant statement about the incident.
“I will not be intimidated by radical lunatics for doing my job,” she wrote.
Bondi vowed to find the alleged culprit and bring them to justice.
“Our federal prosecutors, agents, and law-enforcement partners put their lives on the line every day to protect the American people,” Bondi added, “and this Department will use every legal tool available to ensure their safety and hold violent offenders fully accountable.”

Far-left Democrat spent thousands on luxury travel, including limousines and posh hotels, filings show
A new campaign spending report filed with the Federal Election Commission revealed that far-left Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas has spent tens of thousands of dollars living the high life in 2025.
Crockett has emerged as one of the louder foul-mouths on the left to criticize the policies of President Donald Trump and gained prominence on social media for her outbursts.
She is weighing whether to run for US Senate as a way of dealing ‘karma’ for the redistricting passed by Republicans.
The filing documents more than $25K in luxury services that included high-end hotels and ritzy limousine rides while Crockett was visiting locations outside of her district, the 30th district in Texas.
The expenses were made in the period since January at locations that included Martha’s Vineyard, Chicago, New York City, Las Vegas, San Francisco, as well as Los Angeles.
Among the hotel expenses were the following:
- $4,175.01 at the Ritz-Carlton
- $2,304.79 at the Luxury Collection
- $5,326.52 to the West Hollywood Edition in Los Angeles
- $1,173.92 to the Times Square Edition in New York City
- Over $2,000 to the Cosmopolitan and Aria resort in Las Vegas
- $2,703.14 to the Edgartown Inn in Martha’s Vineyard
- $3,160.93 at the Coco, also in Martha’s Vineyard
The congresswoman also reported paying $50K for security services.
Crockett has indicated that she is weighing whether to run for U.S. Senate as a way of dealing “karma” for the redistricting passed by Republicans.
“Because if you want to take my seat of 766,000 away, I feel like there has to be some karma in that to where I take your seat that is for 30 million away,” she said in October. “So we are, you know, the primary is the primary. That’s cool, but you got to win the general. So we are doing some testing here shortly to see if I can expand the electorate.”

A Blaze News request for comment from Crockett’s office was not immediately returned.
She also made headlines recently when progressive radio show host Stephanie Miller posted photographs of herself kissing Crockett’s sneakers. Many thought the joke exemplified how the media favors the left.

Eddie Murphy says younger people are defiant against woke speech restrictions: ‘F**k that cancel-culture s**t’
Iconic comedian and entertainer Eddie Murphy weighed in on the current state of cancel culture among the youth, and he did not hold back.
Murphy made the comments to the Hollywood Reporter while publicizing an upcoming documentary about his life titled “Being Eddie” on Netflix.
‘If you go into clubs, the comics are talking crazier than ever. They say whatever the f**k they want to say.’
While Murphy downplayed the effect cancel culture has on society, he also went on to say that younger people have turned against speech restrictions.
“I can’t think of a comedian that said a joke that made them get canceled. I feel like that whole canceled thing was just a moment in time where people were like, ‘Comics have to be careful what they say,'” said Murphy.
“If you go into clubs, the comics are talking crazier than ever. They say whatever the f**k they want to say. It’s a generation that’s coming up now that’s defiant about that whole cancel-culture s**t: ‘F**k that cancel-culture s**t. Let the chips fall where they may.’ If I ever did it again, I would say what I wanted to say and do whatever I wanted to do,” he added.
“I’m not even thinking about getting canceled at 64, after 50 years in the business,” Murphy concluded.
Farther on in the interview, Murphy said that he was working on a reboot of the “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World” movie from 1963.

Murphy previously called out some in the black community who treated him harshly when some of his endeavors did poorly.
“Even black folks, you get cheap shots from your people. … I remember Ebony magazine, instead of talking about the movie and my performance and all that, they said, ‘Maybe there’ll come a day when a black man can play a professor and he doesn’t have to be nutty,'” he said in 2024.
“I was like, what the f**k?! That’s the review of my movie?” he added. “That’s the review of that? I play all these different characters and that’s what you say about me, and it’s us, and it’s me?! Yeah, that hurt my feelings.”
“Being Eddie” is scheduled for release on Nov. 12 and includes interviews with Dave Chappelle, Jamie Foxx, and Jerry Seinfeld.
