PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Rhode Island’s Roman Catholic bishop is calling on U.S. authorities to halt large immigration raids and says agents who refuse to participate in such raids on moral grounds deserve to be treated as conscientious objectors."We believe that raids on the immigrant community are unjust, unnecessary, and counterproductive," the bishop’s letter says. It urges individual federal agents to consider the morality of their actions and refuse to participate if their conscience dictates.
