>> translator: i think you have to keep fighting. and i'm doing this for my kids. and i would do it again if it became necessary. >> we're taking a leap of faith, right? in many respects. because we don't know what's going to happen. >> reporter: federal agents can arrest flores in the church. but u.s. immigration and customs enforcement, known as i.c.e., has a decades-long policy of a avoiding places of worship, schools and hospitals. >> my advice would be they should come out of the basement of the churches and follow the law. >> reporter: daniel ragsdale is deputy director of i.c.e. he runs the daily operations and overseas 13,000 officers. >> so if they are to check in with i.c.e. they should check in with i.c.e. >> checking in with i.c.e. is going to get them deported. >> checking in with i.c.e. will follow the law. and in cases where there's a removal order, of course we would execute it. >> how much concern do you have about separating families in deportations? >> as a human
2:43 am
traumatic for folks. but i will also say that the rule of law is something that america is built on. but this seems to be the one area where the narrative about separating families sort of gets a little bit ratcheted up. >> well, you can understand why. >> well, i can. but i would suggest that every person who has come to the united states illegally just like if i went somewhere and resided in violation of law i could expect at some point that sovereign country to want to remove me. >> we're rounding them up in a very humane way, in a very nice way. and they're going to be happy because they want to be legalized. >> reporter: before the election candidate trump told us he would deport all of an estimated 11 million illegal immigrants. >> and by the way, i know it doesn't sound nice. but not everything is nice. >> reporter: now president trump says he's pursuing violent
2:44 am
>> you see what's happening at the border. all of a sudden for the first time we're weeding gang members out, we're getting drug lords out. we're getting really bad dudes out of this country. and at a rate that nobody's ever seen before. and they're the bad ones. >> reporter: it's not just the bad guys. the fact is in the trump administration according to i.c.e. about 11,000 undocumented people with no criminal records have been detained so far. that's twice as many as last year. because of this the number of religious institutions across the country offering sanctuary has doubled to 800. just last week this church in buffalo, new york offered sanctuary to a family of six from honduras. the church has opened its doors to 40 illegal immigrants since january. when congregations in cities including phoenix, denver, and philadelphia
2:45 am
they are in open defiance of immigration law. that leads me to wonder whether there's any internal conflict within you. you preach morals and yet you're breaking the law. >> there's no conflict. i think i've said this before, that when a law breaks the backs of god's people then it's time for us to think about breaking those laws. he. >> reporter: trouble is those laws never stop changing. and that's one reason the immigration debate is never settled. since 1790 congress has rewritten immigration law on average about every four years. america imported chinese labor to build the transcontinental railroad, and when it was finished congress banned all chinese. in world war i nearly 20% of u.s. forces were not ci

2:47 am
he says it violates the constitution to hold people without a warrant. there are more than 600 cities, counties, and states that consider themselves sanctuaries. two years ago there were half as many. >> we've ordered a crackdown on sanctuary cities. >> reporter: president trump is now trying to cut off federal funds from these sanctuary cities. but he's been stopped so far by the courts. >> this is not us versus them. this is we upholding the constitution of the united states of america and asking them to comply with it also by presenting us with the proper judicial warrant so we can release that person to their custody. >> the feds are talking about taking your federal money away. and mr. mayor, i bet you can't afford that. >> no. think about the conundrum this presented. if you accept the assertion that undocumented immigrants cause crime, which i do not accept and i think it's wrong. why would you defund police departments?

te shou here, it's a terrible thing but they shouldn't have come. >> well, ellis island opened in 1892. the bulk of irish diaspora came to america in the 1840s. we didn't have papers either. we were undocumented. there was an anti-italian slur when i was growing up in my neighborhood called w-o-p. it's without papers. if you come to the country because you're starving in your country or being held hoftball by drug dealers or you're afraid your children are going to be shot in the streets or on your farm i think that's self-preservation and survival. any group of people would flock to america because that would be the place where people came to be saved. >> this is my kourptd. i'm working hard. >> reporter: sixto paz would have been deported ten months ago if he hadn't confined himself to shadow rock united church of christ in phoenix. >> good morning. >> reporter: ismail delgado moved in four months ago. >> we came to work. >> reporter: paz crossed illegally in
