During his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump vowed to deport millions of undocumented immigrants from the United States. The Sanctuary Movement, an interfaith movement that began in the 1960s, is undergoing resurgence following the presidential election.
Approximately 450 houses of worship in the U.S. have offered to provide sanctuary or other assistance to undocumented immigrants, according to the New York Times.
Not every church has the resources and space necessary to physically shelter immigrants, but all of the organizations have pledged to provide “money, legal aid, food, child care or transportation.”
