A church in Charlotte, North Carolina, reportedly sought to "disturb passersby" this Christmas with a Nativity scene that depicts Jesus, Mary and Joseph with "masked immigration agents wearing bulletproof vests and brandishing handcuffs."
According to The Charlotte Observer, Missiongathering Church criticized immigration enforcement, and the church pastor’s goal was to "force viewers to confront the fear many immigrant families in Charlotte felt following recent immigration arrests in the city."
The installation displays the biblical account of Mary, Joseph and Jesus in a manger in Bethlehem with figures dressed as ICE agents added. Rev. Andrew Shipley told the paper the depiction mirrors what immigrant families are experiencing today.
He said the church had been helping people who were "afraid" after U.S. Customs and Border Protection arrived in the city.

"The goal is to disturb, to make people feel something," Shipley said. "What’s been happening to Charlotte families … is disturbing and is graphic and horrifying."
The installation was reportedly created by an artist group called TaskForce, which has been involved in similar installations across the country.?
The group reportedly contacted the church by phone and email with the idea, enlisting local artists to build the display.
"The goal is to translate the Christmas story into a modern context," Shipley told the Observer. "If the Holy Family had been in Charlotte two weeks ago, they would have been putting the baby Jesus in handcuffs because he wouldn’t have his papers."
