Generally speaking, it is never a popular position for the Department of Homeland Security to go after a recognized church that gives sanctuary to an illegal alien, regardless of whether the alien is a member of the church are not. Bad press usually follows, which is not something that the DHS headquarters in Washington appreciates.Due to the limitations of the Lawyers.com Forums, Alan Lee, Esq.'s (the "Firm") participation in responding to questions posted herein does not constitute legal advice, nor legal representation of the person or entity posting a question.
