‘Need to care’: Priest takes guardianship of kids whose families fear deportation

As U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement carries out its targeted operations in the Washington area, an Episcopal priest in Maryland promises to care for as many as 14 children if their parents are deported.

Padre Vidal Rivas, senior priest at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Hyattsville, said five families signed documents designating him as their children’s guardian.

“When see the children, for me, I don’t like the situation right now,” he said.
