They knew that Rumeysa Ozturk had done nothing wrong. They sent masked men to grab and detain her anyway.
They knew Abrego Garcia had a protection order from deportation. They sent him to a foreign jail anyway.

My mom, who converted to Catholicism of her own accord (to her Methodist grandmother's horror…
My Aunt who was in the Navy converted in 1947 -- received her first Communion in the Military Episcopate in the Navy.
