A federal judge cited two Gospel verses in his order releasing five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, who had been detained by immigration agents in a Minneapolis suburb and sent to a Texas family detention center.

The verses the judged cited were:

Matthew 19:14 - “Let the children come to me, and do not prevent them; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

John 11:35 - “And Jesus wept.”

    On one hand: get your imaginary friend the fuck out of my government.

    On the other hand: oh my god the nationalists Christians gotta be either super confused or big mad about religion getting used as a citation in a court case, only in a “fuck you, you’re wrong” fashion

      In their defense, the religious stuff wasn’t part of the judgement or anything. It was just his closing remarks to the family.

      Probably mad and confused. Some might even crack open that bible and read, but not many. And those who do will be certain the judge had misinterpreted the meaning.
