Summary
27 religious organizations are suing the Trump administration over its decision to allow ICE arrests at places of worship, reversing longstanding policy.
The lawsuit argues that detaining immigrants in churches violates the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Faith leaders say the policy has led to decreased attendance at worship services and social programs.
They seek a permanent injunction blocking immigration enforcement at religious sites, unless agents have a judicial warrant or are operating under “exigent circumstances.”
messing with churches source of income? no bueno
This has nothing to do with money. Traditionally churches have been able to provide sanctuary to people from LEO. Trump has violated this.
Yeah, add division between whose who fight these reforms. That’s exactly what the people in America needs.
You’ve apparently never heard of a thing called sanctuary.
Yes, “income”, like food pantries, donated clothing, other assistance to the needy. Any person should be allowed to worship in peace, and any person should be allowed basic necessities from a charity without fear.
No one is raiding charities for wealthy donors
Yep, churches are disgraceful
Go experience the real world. Many churches are just people trying to do the best they can and aren’t evil.
I understand you think churches are “good” based on what? Maybe community? So pay taxes then , what does a priest or pastor really do accept give counsel or average , novice therapy?
If you have to ask what clergy do, which is more than therapy, do you think you have an informed opinion on religion?
