GOP member wants bishop 'added to deportation list' after Trump prayer service [View all]
Rep. Mike Collins (R-Ga.) heavily criticized statements made by the Right Rev. Mariann Budde on Tuesday at the inaugural prayer service held for President Trump.
“The person giving this sermon should be added to the deportation list,” Collins wrote in a post on the social platform X, alongside a clip of Budde’s comments.
Trump has promised to carry out the largest deportation in the country’s history.
The former president instituted a plethora of border security laws Monday, including the “Remain in Mexico” program that requires asylum-seekers to stay in Mexico until their U.S. immigration court date, and he shut down the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) One app, which facilitates appointments for immigration proceedings.
During the service, Budde begged for mercy over communities likely to be impacted by Trump’s policies.
