At a Spanish-speaking Lutheran church in Tucson, the pastor said his congregation is still attending in large numbers, although he has been offering remote services via Facebook since the pandemic. “Some of them have told me they can’t just sit around and wait for the worst to happen,” said the pastor, who asked to be identified only by his first name, Mateo, to protect his congregation. “It has somewhat influenced my preaching because I really emphasize that we are in God’s hands. The care that God gives us is greater than any actions of the government.”

31-year-old Tucson house painter Antonio hugs his 4-year-old son Mateo, a U.S. citizen, in west Tucson. Antonio, a native of Nogales, Sonora, who is undocumented, said he had to stop taking his son to the park and other public places they used to visit together. Now they stay home, but have been able to avoid isolation by inviting family and friends to join them for dinner, he said.

At a Spanish-speaking Lutheran church in Tucson, the pastor said he had asked volunteers from English-speaking sister churches to attend his services and act as witnesses in case there was ever an ICE raid on the church. The Trump administration has reversed previous ICE guidelines that limited enforcement at “sensitive locations” including hospitals, schools and churches.
