Trump Insults Christian Values at Latino Evangelical Church in South Florida
============================================================================


Nation’s Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization Says Latino
Community will Remember Injustices Against Most Vulnerable at Ballot Box

Washington, DC – The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) has
released the following statement on Trump’s campaign rally at the Ministerio
Internacional El Rey Jesús Church, in West Kendall, Florida, today:

“Latinos are a majority Christian community, Latinos everywhere are concerned by
President Trump’s fake Christian campaign rally at a Latino Evangelical Church
that serves a large undocumented population in South Florida this Friday,” says
Domingo Garcia, LULAC National President. “As Trump pretends to stand for
Christian values today-- during this season in which Christians worldwide
commemorate the Holy Family’s refugee journey-- we hope that this congregation
and its leadership ask President Trump why his Administration has locked
Christian Latino refugee children in cages, separated Christian parents fleeing
persecution and violence from their children, and continues to hold our Christian
children in deplorable conditions by refusing them even basic healthcare and
compassion.”

“Christian faith leaders from around the country, including the Evangelical
Christian communities, along with religious leaders from other faiths, have
repeatedly called upon President Trump and his Administration to stop its immoral
policies on our nation’s most vulnerable people, including the ongoing reign of
terror and racism against Christian Latino and immigrant communities,” continued
Garcia. “As the nation’s oldest and largest Latino civil rights organization,
representing a large Christian community for 90 years, we demand that President
Trump respects our nation’s Judeo-Christian traditions and act in accordance with
basic morality in administering public policies such as respecting religious
sanctuaries, and pardoning the hundreds of immigrants staying in churches to
avoid family separation and deportation to possible deaths.”

“LULAC respectfully calls on Pastor Guillermo Maldonado of the Ministerio
Internacional El Rey Jesús Church to sign on to an Open Letter by Faith Leaders
in support of sanctuary regarding the mistreatment of undocumented immigrants,
many of which are a part of his congregation.”
