Summary
27 religious organizations are suing the Trump administration over its decision to allow ICE arrests at places of worship, reversing longstanding policy.
The lawsuit argues that detaining immigrants in churches violates the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Faith leaders say the policy has led to decreased attendance at worship services and social programs.
They seek a permanent injunction blocking immigration enforcement at religious sites, unless agents have a judicial warrant or are operating under “exigent circumstances.”
Why stop at churches? They have no problem expecting their religion to be forced on everyone? Why not fight ICE at every place they try and go into, if you believe what they are doing is illegal.
