So Trump has revealed the unmitigated evil of his presidency (guessing primarily Steve Bannon's advice). Starting with the unconstitutional interpretation of Trump's executive order (against green card holders) which was announced on Holocaust remembrance day as well as not mentioning Jews in the official statement of remembrance.
Hundreds of Jews prior to WWII were rejected as refugees, and were then returned to Germany to die in the death camps, because of the fear of immigrants that were "different". We are now seeing history repeating itself.
Today there are refugees from many parts of the world attempting to find safety in the USA.
Let's remember, NONE of the countries on Trump's restricted list have been a source of a terrorist on US soil.
And Terrorism aside, the Bible gives us a moral imperative to aid the stranger, and even our enemies.
Given this, and the fact that many of these people may die when sent back to their home country. Are Christians that support this not rejecting Christ? How can one be "pro-life" and discard the lives of refugees?
How can we not expect judgement for actions like this?

Don’t mistreat or oppress an immigrant, because you were once immigrants in the land of Egypt. - Exodus 22:21 (CEB) |
44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who harass you 45 so that you will be acting as children of your Father who is in heaven. He makes the sun rise on both the evil and the good and sends rain on both the righteous and the unrighteous. - Matthew 25:44-45 |

For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38 And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39 When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’ |

"As I live," declares the Lord GOD, "Sodom, your sister and her daughters have not done as you and your daughters have done. 49"Behold, this was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had arrogance, abundant food and careless ease, but she did not help the poor and needy. |
