The Maryland Catholic Conference pursues public policies that promote trust between the immigrant community and law enforcement, protect victims and witnesses to crimes, and regulate labor contractors to address labor trafficking, among other initiatives.
"Dear brothers and sisters, our response to the challenges posed by contemporary migration can be summed up in four verbs: welcome, protect, promote and integrate."
— Pope Francis, May 2019
