A federal judge in Maryland has blocked a new immigration policy impacting places of worship, prompted by a lawsuit from Quaker and Baptist groups as well as a Sikh temple. The lawsuit argues the rescinded guidance deterred individuals from attending religious services, infringing on their constitutional rights. According to Amar Shergill from the Sikh Temple Sacramento, the policy change has created fear within the congregation and disrupted their community's unity. The ruling currently affects religious centers involved in the case, encompassing over 1,000 Baptist churches and six Quaker meetings.
The case is still ongoing. The order does not apply to all religious centers, just those involved in the lawsuit, including over 1,000 Baptist churches and six Quaker meetings.
Shergill mentioned that the Trump administration's decision to rescind the policy has caused fear among worshippers, disrupting their communal gatherings.
