Immigrant priests, seminarians, and religious in the US are affected by immigration enforcement policies, according to advocates and analysts.
Bishop Tyson of the Diocese of Yakima in central Washington stated that strict immigration enforcement would result in "parishes without priests immediately."
"I know how hard it is to keep my priests and my seminarians in status,"
Bishop Tyson also mentioned that several seminarians in his diocese, including one born in the US but living in Mexico with his self-deported parents, are impacted by these policies.
