Fort Wayne, June 16 (RHC)-- Responding to the outcry by U.S. religious leaders over the Donald Trump administration's immigration guidelines, Attorney General Sessions quoted scripture to justify his department’s racist policies.
Sessions was speaking to an invitation-only crowd in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said: “I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13 to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained the government for his purposes.”
Critics seized on Sessions’s reference to Romans 13, noting it was a favorite passage of defenders of the Confederacy used to justify slavery.
