A strong statement from the Lutheran World Federation: Countries of refuge, such as the United States, have a moral and legal obligation to protect these children... ...what is at stake—we believe—in addition to the lives and dignity of individual women and children and families, is the threat of a significant shift in protections for all people who flee violence around the world. We cannot accept any response by the U.S. administration that seeks to forcibly and indiscriminately return these children, who have made perilous and courageous journeys, back to a life-threatening situation.”
