Immigration and Migration

Catholics working with migrants welcomed the end of Title 42, saying it had prevented many migrants from applying for asylum and, in many cases, forced people back to dangerous Mexican border towns where they were extorted and kidnapped by police and drug cartels. But they also expressed misgivings about what might replace it.

As Title 42 draws to its scheduled close, House Republicans are planning to vote on border security legislation criticized by the U.S. bishops.

While millions of Venezuelans left their homeland for Brazil over the past several years, hundreds of them now face a different journey — fighting several violations of their rights.

The number of U.S. Latinos who identify as Catholic continues to decline steadily, with only about 43 percent now self-identifying as Catholic, according to a new analysis from the Pew Research Center.
