The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that Venezuelan migrants who fled the Maduro regime can now be deported, overturning a lower court’s block on removals. Many of these individuals sought refuge from economic collapse, political violence, and humanitarian crises.

Supporters of the ruling argue it restores order to the immigration system and affirms the authority of the federal government to enforce existing laws. Critics, however, warn that sending people back into dangerous conditions violates both international asylum norms and biblical values of justice and mercy.

How should Christians approach policies like this?
Does upholding the law take precedence, or should compassion guide immigration decisions when lives are at risk?

“Justice is not just legal—it’s moral.”
