A federal judge in Maryland presided over a hearing on Thursday regarding a challenge to President Donald Trump's policy change on immigration enforcement at churches. The case involves religious congregations seeking to halt the administration's decision to lift restrictions on immigration enforcement activities near places of worship.
The religious organizations, including Quaker congregations, argue that the policy change infringes on religious liberty protections and has already led to a decrease in church attendance. The current administration's revised approach, which diverges from the previous 'sensitive places' memo, is at the center of the legal dispute.
