CHICAGO, ILLINOIS - FEBRUARY 02: The Rev. Emma Lozano holds up a card stating the legal rights immigrants should know during a Spanish language service at Lincoln United Methodist Church to a virtual congregation on February 02, 2025 in Chicago, Illinois. Five weeks ago the church, which has a long history of immigrant rights activism, stopped having in-person Spanish-language services because of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity around the church, which is in a predominately Hispanic neighborhood, and because the church said it had been receiving threats from "MAGA" people. In today's sermon, Lozano criticized President Trump for "breaking down doors, picking up mothers, and fathers and essential workers" . . . "after he pardoned the crimes and freed January 6 rioters."

A federal appeals panel has left standing a court order that bars immigration agents from making warrantless arrests at eight religious organizations' houses of worship, delivering a win to Quaker meetinghouses, a Sikh gurdwara, and a national Baptist fellowship in their ongoing dispute with the Trump administration. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit issued the ruling on August 18, affirming a Maryland district judge's injunction and keeping open a larger fight over how far deportation enforcement can reach into sacred spaces.
