Religious Groups Sue Trump Administration Over Immigration Raids at Places of Worship

The lawsuit challenges the rescission of a longstanding policy limiting immigration enforcement in sensitive locations, citing violations of religious rights.

A coalition of 27 Christian and Jewish organizations has filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration's decision to end restrictions on immigration enforcement at places of worship.
The lawsuit argues that the policy change violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act and the First Amendment by burdening religious exercise and assembly.
Religious leaders claim the rescission forces them to choose between protecting vulnerable congregants and fulfilling religious duties of hospitality and sanctuary.
The suit highlights the arrest of a Honduran asylum seeker during a church service, which it says has instilled fear among worshippers and disrupted religious practices.
Legal experts are divided on the lawsuit's prospects, with some arguing that it faces significant challenges in court while others emphasize the need for enforcement to respect religious freedoms.
