There are many fine hospitals under the ownership of the Catholic Church. In seeking "sanctuary" parents should be seeking hospitals that are owned by the Catholic Church and/or directed by the faith. The Catholic Church can directly intervene in such instances. I do believe most hospitals have their own housing for families with children that need constant care. It probably would not be a burden to help these families for the church.
What concerns me about the path the Trump administration is following carries brevity to these families when considering he is imposing a new standard on immigrants to the USA in having their own ability to pay for their care (click here).
I don't want to see ICE suddenly show up at their homes and demand the families surrender to prison and then insist on bringing the children to be in a detention facility. I think everyone, including Congressional people, needs to realize this president doesn't care about the dignity or quality of life. I think the families need to have a "Plan B" in case things get ugly.
Yes, an underground movement must be prepared to act to protect the innocent against the cruel and dangerous policies of Trump.

The latest report updates a 2013 study and adjusts the methodology for what researchers consider a Catholic hospital, adding in facilities that were acquired by secular systems but still follow religious guidelines....
