Detention Centers: A Call for Morality and Reform

Michael Hunn, Bishop of the Diocese of the Rio Grande for the Episcopal Church, addresses the moral implications of the current detention practices at the US-Mexico border. He highlights the struggles faced by detainees, including many who have no criminal record, and advocates for the closure of detention centers. The video includes a clip from Border Chaplain Reza, who speaks out against the criminalization of migrants and the inhumane conditions within detention centers. Bishop Hunn calls on all people, regardless of faith, to demand that the government reflect moral values and to resist the expansion of detention facilities.
