Letter: That the LDS Church is concerned about gambling makes (dollars and) sense. But what about ICE?
A letter questions why the LDS Church addresses gambling but remains silent on ICE operations affecting its members in Utah.Summary
This letter to the editor responds to reporting on the LDS General Conference, where leaders spoke about the dangers of gambling, including sports betting and online casino games. The author agrees with the church's concern, sarcastically noting that when members lose money gambling, they cannot pay tithing. However, the author's main criticism is that ICE was not mentioned at the conference despite its strong presence in Utah. The letter points out that many church members and missionaries are being detained and deported by ICE, and asks why the church is not speaking out or taking action on behalf of these neighbors, friends, and members. The author, E.A. Evans of Ivins, calls on the church to address this issue.
