(RNS) - Shtatë udhëheqës fetarë u arrestuan në Williston, Vermont të premten në mëngjes (4 shtator), për bllokimin e hyrjeve në një ndërtesë ku punëtorët ndihmojnë agjentët e imigracionit të synojnë përpjekjet e tyre, me klerin që këmbëngul se besimi i tyre i detyron ata të kundërshtojnë fushatën e vazhdueshme të dëbimit masiv të Presidentit Donald Trump.

Arrestimet ndodhën ndërsa udhëheqësit e besimit kërkuan të dënojnë veprimet e Qendrës Kombëtare të Analizës Kriminale dhe Synimit, një nga tre objektet kryesore që ndihmojnë agjentët e Emigracionit dhe Zbatimit të Doganave të synojnë operacionet e tyre.

Sipas Reve.

Më në fund, Girrell u arrestua nga policia e shtetit të Vermontit së bashku me gjashtë të tjerë: dy ministra të Kishës së Bashkuar të Krishtit, një prift Episkopal dhe kryedhjak i Dioqezës Episkopale të Vermontit, një udhëheqës kuaker dhe një ministër unitarist universal.

Φωτεινή Παναγιωτοπούλου

Οι κληρικοί αυτοί έκαναν τρεις ώρες αποκλεισμό και διάβαζαν ονόματα νεκρών. Δεν ξέρω αν αυτό αλλάζει κάτι στην πράξη, αλλά μου φαίνεται ότι η προσευχή και το τραγούδι έξω από μια υπηρεσία δεν είναι ο δρόμος που θα διάλεγα εγώ για να βοηθήσω ανθρώπους. Τι λένε οι ίδιοι οι μετανάστες της περιοχής;

Ich finde es schade, dass die Pfarrer drei Stunden lang den Eingang blockiert haben, statt einfach mit den Leuten im Zentrum zu reden. Bei uns in der Gemeinde haben wir schon ein paarmal Flüchtlingsfamilien aus Syrien und Afghanistan beim Backen und beim Deutschlernen geholfen – das bringt mehr als Singen und Namen vorlesen. Was sagen eigentlich die Betroffenen selbst dazu?

Οι κληρικοί αυτοί έκαναν τρεις ώρες αποκλεισμό και διάβαζαν ονόματα νεκρών, όπως λέει η Φωτεινή. Δεν ξέρω, αλλά μου φαίνεται πιο χρήσιμο να πας και να μιλήσεις με τους ίδιους τους μετανάστες, όπως κάνει ο Andreas με τις οικογένειες από Συρία και Αφγανιστάν που τους μαθαίνει γερμανικά και ψήνουν μαζί. Η προσευχή είναι καλή, αλλά χωρίς πράξη δίπλα στον άνθρωπο μένει λίγο στον αέρα.

I get that they're upset about deaths in detention, but blocking the doors for three hours in Vermont doesn't seem like it helps any actual families trying to get settled. Our parish here has quietly helped a couple of refugee families from Congo with coats and groceries when they first arrived—no protests, just showing up with what they needed. What do the clergy think that blockade actually changed on the ground?

Helena Schmidt

Es stimmt, dass praktische Hilfe wie Backen oder Deutschlernen oft mehr bewirkt als Blockaden. Bei uns in der Gemeinde haben wir letztes Jahr einer syrischen Familie mit dem Papierkram für die Aufenthaltserlaubnis geholfen, das hat wirklich was gebracht. Fragst du dich, ob die betroffenen Familien solche Proteste überhaupt wollen?

I see your point about the coats and groceries making a real difference right away. Our parish quietly drove a Syrian family to appointments for months after they landed, same sort of hands-on help. Still, I wonder if the clergy felt they had to speak out publicly because the targeting centre is right there in Vermont; did any of the arrested ones explain that part to the local papers?
