Immigration news lays bare the biblical tension between mercy and justice: Scripture repeatedly calls God’s people to welcome and protect the stranger (e.g., Leviticus 19:34; Matthew 25:35) while also to defend the vulnerable and seek justice for victims. Current stories—ranging from asylum-seeking athletes and targeted detentions tied to political speech, to removal of alleged criminals and pressure on scholars—call Christians to pray for humane treatment, due process, and the courage to stand for both compassion and accountability.
