On Monday, a federal judge barred immigration agents from conducting enforcement operations at houses of worship associated with Quakers and several other religious groups.
U.S. District Judge Theodore Chang ruled that the Trump administration’s policy might infringe on religious freedoms and should be suspended while a lawsuit challenging it is resolved.
The temporary injunction issued by the Maryland-based judge applies only to the plaintiffs, which include a Georgia-based network of Baptist churches and a Sikh temple in California.
