Trump’s Immigration Arrest Policy Faces Lawsuit from 27 Religious Groups Over House of Worship Raids

More than 27 Christian and Jewish groups, including the Episcopal Church and Union for Reform Judaism, filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, challenging a policy that allows immigration agents to make arrests in houses of worship.
