Dozens of religious organizations across the U.S., including major Christian and Jewish bodies, have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for rescinding protections for sensitive locations. This policy change, occurring on the second day of Trump's term, allows immigration enforcement in churches, schools, and hospitals, creating fear among undocumented individuals within these communities. The lawsuit argues this directly violates their religious rights and federal law, highlighting the importance of safety and sanctuary in places of worship for all members, documented or undocumented.
We have immigrants, refugees, people who are documented and undocumented. ... We cannot worship freely if some of us are living in fear.
Churches are, and have always been, places of prayer, solace, and safety since the time of Jesus Christ; this does not change with any new emperor, king, or president.
