Reporter Extra: Is Trump's immigration crackdown unexpectedly reviving American religion?
Religious leaders are speaking out, congregations are organizing, and people are returning to church — all in response to Trump’s mass deportation agenda. In this Reporter Extra, Vox correspondent Christian Paz looks at how ICE enforcement is galvanizing the religious left, from Lutheran churches in Minneapolis hosting protest gatherings to Pentecostal and Methodist congregations in Charlotte running know-your-rights trainings. New polling shows dramatic drops in support for Trump's immigration policies across nearly every religious denomination — and a particularly sharp turn among white mainline Protestants. Is this a sign that church communities are becoming a new center of resistance? Or an early indicator of a broader political realignment? Christian breaks down what the data shows and what it might mean for American religious life.
