Religious leaders, refugees call for unity at ‘Peaceful Stand Together' gathering

BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana First) — Religious leaders in Baton Rouge came together to speak about immigration. 'How can you say you love God if you don't love your neighbor that you see?' asked L.O.R.I. Communications Director Sharon Njie. That question hung in the air Tuesday as religious leaders and community members gathered for the Louisiana Organization for Refugees and Immigrants' (LORI) 'Peaceful Stand Together' event — a day of storytelling, open dialogue, and reflection amid mounting global and national tensions over immigration. Held in Baton Rouge, the event brought together representatives from Christian, Catholic, Muslim, and other faith communities, who took part in a public panel discussion about the moral imperatives of their traditions in the face of current crises, including immigration raids and refugee displacement. 'Everyone needs to stand together and come together in unity and know that we need to live by the words of God: love thy neighbor as you will love yourself,' said L.O.R.I. Policy Associate Tia Fields, echoing the day's central theme of unity over division. The message resonated deeply with Njie, a migrant who fled political turmoil in her home country. 'I've lost families,' she said. 'If I look back home, all I see are graves. I came into this country with no family, but the families I have are the people standing next to me.' As U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations continue in cities like Los Angeles, President Donald Trump has defended his administration's stance on immigration, pointing to national security and economic concerns. 'Very simply, we will liberate Los Angeles and make it free, clean and safe again,' Trump said earlier this week. 'It's happening very quickly.' But those at the Louisiana gathering offered a different vision — one grounded in empathy, justice, and inclusion. 'There are so many challenges that we face in this world,' said Fields. 'I think now is the time — more than ever — to open our doors, not close them.' Each faith leader emphasized a shared moral calling: to see the humanity in every person and to stand with the marginalized. The stories shared ranged from personal loss and migration to acts of community service and solidarity. 'And I still try to ensure that I give back to this community,' Njie said. 'Not just giving back in the work I do on a local level, but also on a national level.' For attendees, the gathering was more than an event — it was a call to action. A reminder that compassion, not fear, should guide public policy and personal conviction.

Florida Car Salesman Accused Of Washing Titles

Read the full story on The Auto Wire A Florid man was just hit with 21 criminal charges after authorities accused him of washing car titles. What's even more shocking is the same man was arrested in January and hit with 12 charges, also for washing car titles. But wait, there's man, 40-year-old Ahmed Njie, is a used car salesman. In other words, his victims weren't just buying vehicles from a random private party. If you thought you only had to worry about this kind of thing when not shopping at a dealership, think again. According to a report from Fox13 Tampa Bay, authorities believe Njie is part of a large criminal organization that's moving stolen cars, passing them off as legitimate and fooling shoppers. Authorities have been investigating Njie for about a year. He's now being held without a bond. Title washing is when someone changes the VIN on a car, then getting the vehicle re-titled so it has a fresh title with that fraudulent VIN. Oftentimes, they'll use a VIN from the same make, model, even paint color of a ride that's been totaled and is no longer on the road. With car theft rates still high, your chances of buying a stolen ride with a washed title is higher than most people would guess. When most people learn about this type of crime, they assume buying from a dealership will protect them. Sadly, it doesn't always go that way. While in this case we have a dealership employee who's accused of washing titles, sometimes dealers are victims of these crimes. We've seen dealerships buy stolen cars, not detect the title is a forgery, then resell the vehicle to a customer, who month or years later learns the horrible truth. One surefire way to guard against title washing scams is to check the VIN for a car on a location other than the dash or driver's door jamb. Different vehicles have those VINs stamped or etched into different locations, like on the engine block or frame. Scammers can't or won't change those VINs because they're harder to reach.
