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.”

    What the fuck does that have anything to do with being on the phone? I truly cannot figure out how the two things are related in any way… Sounds like you’re stereotyping irreligious people as low information, terminally online, idiots.

    The conversation is about “churches” in the context of an article about US politics. So I was referring to Christianity, not “all the faiths.” What a ridiculous straw man.

      No Im placing you firmly in the “internet atheist” camp that typically knows nothing about religions other than whatever they were brought up in/around.

      There are tons of Christian churches and denominations that aren’t evil. The bishop who called out Trump at the Inaugural ceremony is part of one- The Episcopal Church of America.

      You’re just espousing religious bigotry and that isn’t ok.
