According to Religion News Service, Cardinal Blase Cupich "made the allegation in a Jan. 17 interview with WTTW, a Chicago PBS affiliate, and in an interview published Friday (Feb. 6) in the U.S. edition of El País, a Spanish newspaper. 'I’ve had some priests who are of a different color being targeted and arrested — stopped — because of their color and asking them to prove that they’re citizens. That’s not America,' Cupich told the PBS affiliate. 'We should not have to live in a country where people have to carry around their documents all the time.'"
