The United Methodist Church garnered headlines when hundreds of its bishops officially denounced Attorney General Jeff Sessions, a member of the UMC, for his defense of the family separation policy.

Bishop Kenneth H. Carter Jr., Council of Bishops president and leader of the Florida Conference, released a statement quoted by United Methodist News Service expressing support for the executive order.

"An executive order ending separation of families at our borders is good news, and a reversal of an inhumane and immoral practice," said Carter.

"We rejoice with these families as they are reunited. We give thanks for a prophetic church that joins God in the deliverance of the most vulnerable from bondage and oppression."
