More than 800 houses of worship in America have volunteered to shelter illegal immigrants and their familieswho face deportation, CBS' "60 Minutes" reports.

Under President Donald Trump, Immigration, Customs and Enforcement has detained 11,000illegal immigrants who have no criminal record, twice as manyas last year.

When a law breaks the backs of God's people then it's time for us to think about breaking those laws, said Rev. Robin Hynicka of Philadelphia's Arch Street Methodist Church.

Hynicka's church has opened its doors toFlores Garcia, who has a deportation order against him because he repeatedly crossed the border and because of a decade-old DUI charge.

Thats injustice and oppression, all of which is evil, says Hynicka.

When a human being's human rights are denied, when they can't stay with their family, when they can't work, when they can't participate in the community in which they have deep roots, all of those apply.

In Buffalo, New York, a church has sheltered 40 illegal immigrants since Trump took office and vowed to crack down on illegal immigration. Last week, it offered sanctuary to a family of six from Honduras. Trump's administration has threatened to cut federal funding from sanctuary cities, including New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia, but that battle is far from over.

ICE Deputy Director Daniel Ragsdale told 60 Minutes he understandshow traumatic the deportation process can be for families.

But I will also say that the rule of law is something that America is built on.

Ragsdale said his advice for people like Garcia is, they should come out of the basement of the churches and follow the law.

The One Chicago campaign is designed to facilitate access of public services to foreign refugees, legal and illegal immigrants.

One Chicago is more than a campaign; it is a statement of faith, Emanuel said of the campaign in a statement. Chicago, like America, is not just a place on a map, but a set of ideals and values carried on through generations of immigrants, migrants, and refugees who came to Chicago in search of a better life for themselves and their families.

The campaign highlights the citys legal defense fund, in which illegal immigrants can receive taxpayer-funded attorneys in order to fight deportation orders in immigration courts. The organization the city has teamed up with to help illegal immigrants and foreign refugees is the Resurrection Project, which is vehemently opposed to any reforms or halts on immigration.

The efforts by Emanuel to further obstruct cooperation with the Trump Administration and Attorney General Jeff Sessions on immigration issues come just as the City has refused to reverse its sanctuary status for illegal immigrants.

The Resurrection Project has praised Emanuels sanctuary policies, writing months ago We applaud Mayor Emanuel on his firm decision to stand by our community, taking the appropriate measures to guarantee that Chicago remains a welcoming city, where freedom and respect for immigrants no matter their origin are still upheld.

To the editor:

In reference to the May 13 letter from Keith Sharp saying illegal immigrants have no place in the U.S., he is partially correct but woefully wrong.

Of course, illegal is illegal. That's where he is correct. But asserting illegal immigrants have no place in the U.S. is wrong. They are here and already have a place. They are an important part of the economy. Some work doing jobs we don't want and work for wages we won't accept. They raise families, pay taxes, and are integrated in most aspects or are in the process. Integration takes a generation, not six weeks in a language class. And many of these "illegals" are adults who are already in the mainstream of this country. We accept immigrants legally, but we do not require them to abandon their culture or language. Why would we treat illegal immigrants differently?

What about an infant brought here illegally, who has never known anything except the U.S., and is now a teenager or adult? This person had no say in the illegal entry. Do we offer no opportunity for citizenship just because the parents broke the law? How about the parents of a child born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants who is a U.S. citizen by definition? To deport the illegal parents would essentially also deport a U.S. citizen who has not broken any law. Either that or the child is removed from its parents without evidence of parental neglect.

Mr. Sharp is clearly wrong in his last paragraph. If 12 million U.S. citizens committed a federal crime, I think it safe to say that prosecuting them would be such an enormous task that it would not be done. In fact, that is actually happening. At least 12 million people are committing a federal crime right now with essentially zero consequence. Despite various laws making cultivation, possession and distribution of marijuana legal at the state level, it is a federal crime to cultivate, posses or distribute the stuff.

It is reasonable to conclude that nearly all illegal immigrants came here for the justifiable reasons Mr. Sharp outlined in his letter. We must find a way to resolve this issue in a compassionate way that lives up to the ideals of this country, especially as deporting 12 million people is a pipe dream, and to do it would wreck the economy. We must cease the unrealistic holier-than-thou blather about this issue and get down to the business of constructing a realistic solution.

Charlie I. Francis,

Becket

Jovanni Rodarte, 20, pleaded guilty to conspiring to smuggle illegal immigrants across the southern border through Laredo, Texas, according to My San Antonio.

In one specific case, Rodarte smuggled three illegal immigrants across the southern border after picking them up from Mexico in a car. When Webb County Sheriffs deputies tried to pull Rodartes car over, he took them on a high-speed chase.

While driving at 100 mph on a connecting road between Rio Bravo and El Cenizo near Laredo, Rodarte ultimately hit a minivan, where three of the passengers in that were hurt, while one of the illegal immigrants with the human smuggler was ejected from the car and suffered injuries from the accident.

Criminals who illegally smuggle people into and throughout the country place personal profit ahead of public safety, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Special Agent Shane Folden told My San Antonio in a statement.

Rodarte is set to be in prison for eight years, with a district judge also making the human smuggler pay close to $193,000 in restitution.

Oscar De La Rosa-Mendoza, 31, pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated, as well as resisting arrest from local police after they pulled him over, according to CBS 4 News.

This was not the first conviction for Rosa-Mendoza. Court records show that Rosa-Mendoza had been previously convicted of drunk driving, along with evading arrest and causing injuries to another person. Even worse, Rosa-Mendoza has been deported six times.

Record checks revealed the defendant was formally removed from the United States to Mexico for the sixth (6th) time on March 3, 2016 via the Brownsville, Texas Port of Entry, a court record obtained by CBS 4 News stated.
