A federal judge ruled in favor of the Trump administration, allowing immigration enforcement operations at houses of worship despite a lawsuit from various religious organizations. U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich found insufficient evidence that places of worship are being targeted. The ruling comes after the administration rescinded an earlier policy limiting immigration arrests in sensitive areas. Some congregants have reported low attendance due to fears of ICE, although the judge noted these declines may not be directly linked to the policy change. Other related lawsuits are underway in different jurisdictions.
