Judge blocks Trump immigration policy allowing arrests in churches for some religious groups

A federal judge ruled that ICE cannot conduct deportation operations in certain religious locations, giving migrants protection from the law. Judge Theodore Chuang blocked the Trump administration's policy, stating it may violate religious freedom rights.

More than two dozen religious groups, including Quakers, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration regarding enforcement in churches. The plaintiffs claim the new policy endangers their religious freedom and is a threat to the vulnerable.
The ruling by Judge Theodore Chuang prevents ICE from conducting enforcement operations in designated sensitive locations like churches, dating back to an Obama-era directive that restricts such actions.
