Dozens of religious groups sue after Trump administration says it won’t stop immigration arrests at houses of worship

Twenty-Seven organizations representing Jewish and Christian denominations have sued the Trump administration to stop immigration raids at houses of worship, claiming it violates their religious rights.
The lawsuit claims that fear of deportation has decreased the attendance of congregants at religious services since policy changes, threatening their ability to practice their faith freely.
Tricia McLaughlin from the Department of Homeland Security states that allowing officers to enter sensitive locations protects Americans from threats, while plaintiffs argue that enforcement actions harm religious practice.
The lawsuit cites the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, asserting that immigration raids would burden religious exercise and disrupt community services.
