Religious Groups Sue Government Over Immigration Policy
More than two dozen religious groups are suing the federal government over the Trump administration's policy allowing immigration agents to make arrests at 'sensitive locations,' including houses of worship. They argue that the policy infringes on their religious freedom and have seen decreased attendance due to fear. They are seeking a permanent injunction against immigration enforcement activities at houses of worship without a judicial warrant or under certain pressing circumstances.
