Religious groups are prosecuting to prevent Trump from the supervisor of arresting immigrants in places of worship

A coalition of 27 Christian and Jewish groups representing millions of Americans filed a lawsuit on Tuesday that defies the Trump administration’s procedures that allow the enforcement of federal immigration to conduct arrests in places of worship.

The federal lawsuit, which was filed in the American boycott court in Washington, was brought on behalf of a group of religious groups, including the Episcopal Church, the Union for Correctional Judaism, Mennon, and the Unified Church.

The lawsuit is challenged by President Donald Trump, who reflected the Biden administration policy that prevents agents of illegal immigrants in sensitive places such as churches, schools and hospitals.

According to the lawsuit, Trump’s new policy sparked fear of raids, which led to a decrease in the presence of worship services and other church programs. For this influence on the attendance, the lawsuit argues that politics violates the religious freedom of groups, especially its ability to the minister for migrants, including those in the United States illegally.

“We have immigrants, refugees and documented and not documented people,” Reverend Sean Row, bishop of the Episcopal Church, told Associated Press.

“We cannot worship freely if some of us live in fear,” he added. “By joining this lawsuit, we seek to obtain the ability to collect our faith and practice our faith completely, to follow the matter of Jesus to love our neighbors as ourselves.”

A similar lawsuit was filed on January 27 by five Koker gatherings, which later joined the Baptist Cooperative Fellowship and Sikh Temple. This case is currently suspended in the US provincial court in Maryland.

The new lawsuit is called the Ministry of Internal Security and its immigration enforcement agencies as a defendant.

“We protect our schools, places of worship and Americans who attend, by preventing criminal foreigners and gang members from exploiting these sites and taking a safe haven there because these criminals knew that under the previous administration that the application of the law cannot go inside, and Trichia McLeulin said in a statement Assistant Minister of Public Affairs, Tricia McLeulin, in a statement.

“The DHS guidance gives our law enforcement the ability to perform their functions,” she said.

A memorandum submitted by the Ministry of Justice can apply on Friday, and the argument against QUAKER is opposed to the new lawsuit.

The Ministry of Justice claims that the prosecutor’s request to prohibit a new immigration policy depends on speculation of virtual damage in the future, which the administration says that the reasons are not sufficient for the courts alongside the Cukeers and the issuance of a judicial order.

In the memo, the Ministry of Justice said that the enforcement of immigration that affects the places of worship has been allowed for decades and that the new policy that was announced last month should use the field agents “sound sense” and “discretionary power”, but they can now carry out immigration enforcement operations In places of worship without prior approval from the supervisor.

Part of this memorandum may not apply to the new lawsuit, as he argued that Quakers and their prosecutors have no basis to search for a judicial matter worldwide to protect all religious groups from new policy.

“Any relief in this case must be designed only for the namely called,” on the pretext that any judicial order should not apply to other religious organizations.

Prosecutors in the new lawsuit represents a much larger number of American worshipers, including more than a million Jewish reform followers, about 1.5 million bishops, and more than a million members of the Arab Church (United States of America) and an estimated 1.5 million active members in the Methodic Episcopal Church African, among other things.

“The huge size of the lawsuit will be difficult for them to ignore,” said the main lawyer, Kelissy Corcran, a lawyer at the Institute of Constitutional Call and Protection at the Associated Press Center.

Corcran said that the prosecutors joined the lawsuit “because the Bible, their education, and their traditions present the unanimity that cannot be refuted on their religious commitment to embrace and serve the refugees, asylum seekers and migrants in their midst without looking at the documents or legal status.”

Before Trump’s change in federal policy, Corcran said that immigration agents generally need a judicial order or another special license to perform operations such as places of worship, schools and hospitals.

“Now he goes anywhere, at any time,” she said. “Now they have a wide authority to arrest – they have made it clear that they will get every non -documentation.”

The lawsuit clarified how some prosecutors could be affected. Some, including the Union for Jewish Reform and Minunite, said that many temples and churches hosting them on the site, meal programs, homeless shelters and other support services for illegal immigrants who may now fear participation.

One of the plaintiffs, the Latin Christian National Network, described the fear among immigrants in the wake of the new Trump administration policy.

“People are afraid to go to the store, and they avoid going to the church … … the churches are increasingly services on the Internet because people are afraid of the welfare of their families,” said the head of the network, Reverend Carlos Malvie, a sponsor of Lingin in Virginia.

One of the religious groups that did not join the new lawsuit is the American Catholic Bishops Conference, which leads the largest category in the country, although it criticized Trump’s collective deportation plan.

On Tuesday, Pope Francis criticized the administration’s immigration policies, saying that the strong removal of people because of their migration situation deprives them of their inherent dignity and that doing so, “will end.”

However, many conservative faith leaders and legal experts throughout the country do not participate in the country’s immigration enforcement that targets places of worship to arrest immigrants.

“The places of worship are dedicated to worship and not havens for illegal activity or to harbor people participating in illegal activity,” Matt Stver, the founder of the Governorate Freedom Foundation for the governorate, told the Associated Press.

“The fugitives or criminals are not immune from the law just because they enter into a place of worship,” he said. “This is not a matter of religious freedom. There is no right to violate law and publicly enforce the law.”
