Minute of Support from Birmingham Friends

Birmingham Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends fully supports the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting and all other Yearly Meetings as plaintiffs in bringing a lawsuit to block the US Department of Homeland Security  from allowing federal officials to enter houses of worship to enforce immigration enforcement actions.  We agree that armed government agents monitoring or entering our place of worship is in opposition to our religious practices and beliefs. We believe that houses of worship are sacred spaces and that this kind of activity disrupts worship and instills fear. We fully endorse the position that the Court should declare unconstitutional the enforcement policy that has been issued by the Department of Homeland Security.
