L.A. Archbishop Hosts 'Mass for Peace' Amid Student Protests Against Trump Immigration Policies
Archbishop José H. Gomez of Los Angeles conducted a 'Mass for Peace' at Our Lady of the Angels, coinciding with student protests against President Trump's immigration policies. The mass was a call for unity and prayer for immigrants, government leaders, and law enforcement. The event took place as over 500 students marched to the Metropolitan Detention Center, protesting the administration's aggressive immigration enforcement. The students, many of whom are from immigrant families, expressed their fears and frustrations over the current policies. The Los Angeles archdiocese, the largest in the U.S., has a significant immigrant and Latino population, making the issue particularly resonant. Archbishop Gomez, a prominent Latino Catholic leader, emphasized the need for compassion and awareness among Americans regarding the plight of immigrants.
