Bishop Exposes What ICE Is Really Doing Inside Churches | Bishop Dottie Escobedo-Frank
United Methodist Bishop Dottie Escobedo-Frank joins Hot Spots with Kay Brown to confront what she describes as escalating fear, violence and injustice facing immigrant communities across California and the nation. Drawing from firsthand accounts, she details ICE actions in and around churches, including warrantless detentions, family separations and the lasting trauma inflicted on children and congregations. Escobedo-Frank explains why faith leaders felt compelled to speak out, framing the moment as a moral crisis rooted in human dignity and the call to protect the vulnerable. She shares powerful stories from local congregations, where fear has disrupted daily life, worship and education. The discussion also explores the broader implications of immigration enforcement, the role of community resistance and the growing tension between faith values and political power. Ultimately, the bishop urges listeners to show up, speak out and stand in solidarity with those most affected in communities nationwide today.Mentioned in this episode:The Path to the U.S. Senate Runs Through Alaska (Promo)Leigh McGowan UAN Promo Stinger - Short -[2026]
