A coalition of 27 Christian and Jewish organizations has filed a federal lawsuit against the Trump administration over its recent policy reversal, which allows immigration agents to arrest individuals in sensitive locations, including churches. The lawsuit argues that this policy undermines the congregations' mission to protect their immigrant neighbors and has led to decreased attendance at services due to fear of arrest. This case follows another lawsuit filed by Quaker congregations, highlighting significant opposition from various faith communities regarding immigration enforcement in places of worship.
The lawsuit argues that the Trump administration's decision makes congregations choose between their religious duty to protect immigrants and the reality of potential enforcement actions.
The filing highlights the detrimental impact of immigration enforcement fears on attendance and community support services provided by religious institutions.
