Over two dozen Christian and Jewish religious organizations have filed a federal lawsuit against Donald Trump's deportation policies that allow immigration agents to arrest individuals in places of worship. The lawsuit asserts that such actions infringe on the First Amendment rights of these groups, leading to decreased participation in religious services and social outreach due to fears of deportation. Lead counsel Kelsi Corkran states that congregations are caught between welcoming undocumented individuals and exposing them to potential deportation, violating both their religious freedoms and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. The lawsuit seeks to protect these sensitive locations from immigration enforcement.
