Sr. Gemma Doll Talks Immigration Reform with NBC4 News

COLUMBUS, OH - Dominican Sister of Peace Gemma Doll, OP, a member of the congregation's Leadership Team, spoke with NBC4 News reporter Steve Wainfor about the recent Supreme Court decision on immigration legislation, which upholds that police may check the immigration status of the detained.

On December 20, 2011, the Dominican Sisters of Peace approved a corporate stance on immigration reform that states:

"We, Dominican Sisters of Peace, call for comprehensive immigration reform that would provide additional viable legal avenues for immigration, reunite families, legalize undocumented persons, and establish opportunities for permanent residency."

Through this statement, the Sisters join their voices with many other religious congregations, faith traditions, justice organizations, and more (including the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops) to express great alarm over the broken immigration system in the United States (click here to read the full article, which appeared on December 20).
