Thinking about Romans 13


In light of the the words from the Attorney General of the United States and the President' press secretary, who both referred to Romans 13 in support of immigration laws & policies that purportedly require the separation of immigrant children from their parents. I found these articles helpful in thinking about what Romans 13 says:
