insurance risks: She was hesitant in 2015 because of the unknown legal and insurance risks, but this time she agreed immediately, according to Metro News.

It would be the second time Barnhouse's congregation had offered sanctuary. And as more than 50 Austin area residents were detained in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation raids last month, a growing number of churches in the Austin Sanctuary Network are volunteering to offer physical shelter or support to churches that do. This mirrors the loosely organized national sanctuary movement that has grown to more than 800 churches and congregations, with a good portion of those joining since Trump was elected. The Austin Sanctuary Network has broadened in the last year from a handful of churches and advocates to more than two dozen congregations and religious groups, three labour unions, several non-profit groups and dozens of individual volunteers.
