To the white Christians and white pastors who are pro-life, ALL lives matter people, in support of this current President and his administration, where is your voice towards the injustices happening?

Many of you on social media were LOUD in your posts when Kirk was killed, and now so many of you are silent. Some of you have shared in comment sections on large platform pages with your comply-or-die rhetoric and have defended why ICE has shot and brutalized individuals. We see you.

American citizens are being murdered in cold blood on American streets, and you’re quiet publicly. Why?

You say people have a legal right to bear arms, but now you say people shouldn’t bear arms legally around ICE agents or at a protest. Which one is it?

Where is your heart for the people made in God’s image who are now dead, who had the right to access their First and Second amendments?

Are the people your party hates or deems as the enemy not made in the image of God? Are immigrants not sacred people who deserve better treatment and due process? Does the word of God not say to love your enemies?

Which lives actually matter to you?

People standing for justice are being labeled as domestic terrorists. People who are legally and peacefully protesting are being branded as domestic terrorists simply for opposing how the administration is deporting immigrants.

As a Christian, I wonder: do you believe in justice, love of neighbor, and the truth of what we see in these videos? Or do you believe what your party and its media are feeding you?

What will you say? Your silence is deafening.

“‘Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly’” – Leviticus 19:15

PS: What we are witnessing is nothing new. Go back to the rhetoric and tactics that were being used against Civil Rights activists and protestors, and you will see they are the same.
