Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde isn't the only religious leader leveling criticism at President Donald Trump this week.
As flagged by Religion News Service national reporter Jack Jenkins on BlueSky, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement taking aim at Trump's executive orders related to immigration.
"Some provisions contained in the Executive Orders, such as those focused on the treatment of immigrants and refugees, foreign aid, expansion of the death penalty, and the environment, are deeply troubling and will have negative consequences," said Archbishop Timothy Broglio, president of the USCCB.

Broglio went on to emphasize that "no matter who occupies the White House or holds the majority on Capitol Hill, the Church's teachings remain unchanged."
Later in the letter, he added that "our prayer is one of hope that, as a Nation blessed with many gifts, our actions demonstrate a genuine care for our most vulnerable sisters and brothers, including the unborn, the poor, the elderly and infirm, and migrants and refugees."
