In conjunction with our interfaith partners, the Stated Clerk will submit a letter to Congress urging members to oppose HR 2278 (Strengthen and Fortify Enforcement Act) because it would create an environment where people will face racial profiling and harassment based on their perceived immigration status.

As people of Christian faith, Presbyterians in Korea and the United States have a long-shared history. The Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) has been in mission partnership on the Korean peninsula for over 130 years.
That partnership was disrupted when Japan arrested all U.S. missionaries at the start of World War II -- including those who had been advocating for Japanese occupation of Korea -- and more recently by the Korean War and the division of Korea into North and South regions along the 38th parallel.
