“The Right to Worship Act,” sponsored by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and cosponsored by Republicans and Democrats alike, seeks to “protect” religious buildings and people inside them by limiting the First Amendment right to protest in nearby areas.
The bill prohibits activities within 100 feet of a house of worship that include actions that are “knowingly disrupting the scheduled religious service” or “impeding people from participating at [a] scheduled religious service.”
Sounds like immigrants could be safe from ICE if we just declare every residential building a religious one. On the other hand, you could also declare your drug or sex trafficking operation a church and carry on without police interference. Unless law enforcement is somehow less disruptive than unarmed protestors, which defeats the entire purpose of the law.
Churches already are bastions of CSA.
