On Monday, Catholic bishops from across Michigan sent out a note regarding their stance on immigration and a call to action to politicians.

For us, its not about politics. Its the humanitarian dimension, said Monsignor Charles Kosanke, a minister at Basilica of Sainte Anne.

Kosanke is a priest of the Archdiocese of Detroit.

He says supporting immigrants and refugees is rooted in the Catholic faith and thats why its so important for Catholic leaders to speak on the recent events surrounding immigration.

Not to say or do anything would be tone deaf and really not living out our mission, Kosanke said.

Sometimes, the breadwinner of the family is deported but then the family loses that income so thats when we spring into action in a sense of trying to provide food and other basic necessities, Kosanke said.

Right next door to the Basilica of Sainte Anne is Escuela Avancemos Academy, which has many students who come from immigrant families.

Theyre scared and theyre fearful, and rightfully so because we are crossing a bridge of unknown, said Derrick Davis, an administrator at Escuela Avancemos.

He says he appreciates the support the Catholic church is giving to immigrants families.

Makes me feel thankful and grateful that we have people who willingly reach out to have our backs knowing that we are facing the unknown, Davis said.

Meanwhile as for Monsignor Kosanke:

Every single country does have a right to secure its borders and to prevent human trafficking, drugs coming across the border. Now when it comes to immigrants, they're human people, so they need to be treated humanly, he said.

As weve been having extremely cold temperatures this week, some Detroit residents have been dealing with flooded streets due to water main breaks.

Earlier this week, Vaughn Street near Constance Street was flooded so badly that neighbors were stuck in their homes.

I been here for 10 years and eight out of the 10, whenever it rains, we get a flood out here. I call it my lakefront property, Vince Palmer said. Its a joke when you can play out here with your boats but when its cold like this, its nothing but an inconvenience.

I wanted to know a little more about why water mains break during the cold temperatures, so I spoke with Sam Smalley, the deputy director of the citys water department.

When the temperature fluctuates.... hits 36 degrees, the metal or cast iron pipelines can become brittle with the expansion and contraction and temperature change that causes some breaks, Smalley said.

Smalley says the citys water system is about 95 years old.

Its a very robust system, but its old, Smalley said.

With the aging infrastructure, are there any plans to replace any of the piping? I asked.

Yes, we have a robust and comprehensive asset management program that goes neighborhood by neighborhood looking at overall risks, Smalley said.

If you see what appears to be a water main break in your neighborhood, Smalley says call 313-267-8000.

Dont assume someone else has called it in," Smalley said. "Or (use) the Improve Detroit or SeeClickFix app that's available Google Play or Apple Store. You can report it either way.

We're learning more about the Wednesday stabbing in Orion Township involving a refugee and a caseworker for Samaritas an organization that works to resettle people from other countries.

The stabbing happened outside of a house off of Silverbell Road, where the caseworker was living.

"It's just a tragedy that this is happening," said Heather Delikat, a neighbor.

According to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to the home around 2 p.m. for reports of a man who was stabbed.

Its over 20 cuts or stabs, it wasnt an accidental brush of the knife, it was multiple, said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.

"Just can't believe this happened next door," said Delikat.

Bouchard said the suspect is a refugee from Afghanistan and the caseworker is also from Afghanistan.

On Thursday, Samaritas issued the following statement regarding the stabbing:

"It is important to emphasize that this situation is an isolated incident. As we have seen across decades of working with this population, refugees bring resilience, strength and valuable contributions to our communities, and our organization remains steadfast in its mission to support their successful resettlement."

Delikat says the victim had been helping refugees since he moved to America.

"I can tell you that the gentleman who lives next door is a wonderful person, his wife and kids are here recently," said Delikat.

Officials say the victim is currently stable, and the suspect is not talking. They are still investigating the motive.

The temperatures across metro Detroit have been frigid and they're causing some drivers big headaches when it comes to their vehicles.

Whenever its cold, one thing the cold will share with the vehicle owners is everything thats wrong with your car, said Lavish T. Williams, owner of Lavish Towing.

Hes been very busy these past two days.

Weve been getting a lot of calls for dead batteries, locks outs and just no starts, said Williams. The cold weather has played a part in a lot of these vehicles not start starting.

I went with Williams on one of his calls on Wednesday.

While we were out on the call, I met Detroit resident Shadaisha Phillips.

She called Williams to tow her car to the mechanic shop after it wouldnt start.

When did you figure out your car wasnt starting? I asked.

Yesterday at work, Ill normally let it run for 20 minutes because its a little older, said Phillips. Yesterday was the second day of it being extremely cold like it was, so I figured that was what it was, I sat on the side of the road for a good two hours.

I also came to the Telsa charging station at the Meijer off of 8 Mile in Detroit to see how people with electric vehicles are doing in this cold weather.

It sucks, I dont have a charger at my home, I think if there was one in my home, it would be better, said Stephanie Johnson of Detroit.

Detroit resident Stephanie Johnson says she believes the cold weather played a role in her Telsa dying on Tuesday.

I went to work yesterday with about 60 miles, I got to work about 13 miles from my home, got in my store about 7:30 in the morning, got off around 7 p.m. and it was at 0, said Johnson.

As for Lavish Williams, he shared some tips on how to prepare your car for the cold.

Preventive maintenance is always the way to go get your batteries checked, because a lot of the failures start from the batteries, said Williams. These batteries, they dont like cold weather.
