Rep. Mike Collins heavily criticized statements made by the Right Rev. Mariann Budde on Tuesday at the inaugural prayer service held for President Trump.

Self-deportation has received renewed support in recent years from figures on the right like Trump’s incoming deputy chief of staff for policy, Stephen Miller, as well as [conservative activist Mark] Krikorian and anti-immigration groups like the Fair Immigration Reform Movement (FAIR).

Trump was in Washington, D.C., for a national prayer service on Tuesday when Bishop Mariann Budde, who was born in New Jersey, pleaded with him during the service to have “mercy” on undocumented immigrants and other marginal groups, whom Trump has targeted during his campaign.

The direct appeal to President Trump on the first full day of his term was a remarkable moment at a National Cathedral event that traditionally has not been political.

President Donald Trump is spending his first full day back in the White House meeting with congressional leaders, announcing an investment in artificial intelligence infrastructure and demonstrating one of his favored expressions of power: firing people.
