A group of over 25 religious organizations has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) contesting a policy change by the Trump administration that allows immigration enforcement actions at schools and houses of worship. Prior to this change, DHS agents were generally required to obtain special authorization to conduct enforcement actions at designated "sensitive locations."
The plaintiffs, representing a broad spectrum of Christian and Jewish denominations, argue that the policy infringes upon their religious freedom and deters participation in programs in houses of worship.
