The bishop of San Bernardino, in California, is allowing churchgoers to not attend Sunday Mass as a result of immigration raids being carried out by the Trump administration.
Concretely, Alberto Rojas issued a letter in which he said that "in light of the pastoral needs of our diocese and the concerns expressed by many of our brothers and sisters regarding fears of attending Mass due to potential immigration enforcement actions by civil authorities, I, as your shepherd, issue this decree."
