Budde also spoke on behalf of immigrants, urging Trump to recognize their contributions to American society, noting that many workers who labor in essential sectors may not have the proper documentation but are not criminals.
Her words caught the attention of many, including Republican Representative Mike Collins, who tweeted, “The person giving this sermon should be added to the deportation list.”
At the end of the service, Budde called on Trump to show mercy to immigrant families and those fleeing persecution, invoking the Bible’s teachings to “be merciful to the stranger.”
Trump later commented to reporters that he didn’t think the sermon was “a good service.”
