A federal judge has sided with a group of Quaker religious organizations, a Baptist church in Atlanta and a Sikh temple in California that sued Donald Trump’s administration to block federal immigration arrests in their houses of worship.
Monday’s ruling from District Judge Theodore Chuang in Maryland temporarily prevents Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from policing their places of worship, after the administration opened the door for ICE officers to make arrests in places like churches, schools, hospitals and childcare centers.
