The Trump administration's new immigration policy allows arrests in places of worship, prompting faith leaders in Southern California to pledge support for immigrants. Guillermo Torres, a key figure in advocating for these efforts, emphasized the imperative to follow divine commands of compassion. Meanwhile, a lawsuit by Quaker groups challenges the policy's implications on religious liberty, with other clerics ready to join in defense of sanctity of worship spaces. The move has reignited discussions among faith communities about their role as protectors of the vulnerable during changing immigration climates.
