AllSides Media Bias Rating: Center
More than 25 religious groups have filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging a Trump administration order that allows immigration agents to make arrests at houses of worship.
The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in Washington and says the new policy is spreading fear and lowering attendance at services and other church programs, which the groups say infringes their religious freedom.
That freedom, the groups say, includes their ability to minister to immigrants, including those who don’t have documents.
