flag A federal judge blocks most ICE raids at churches in Massachusetts, citing First Amendment violations and fear among congregants.

flag A federal judge in Massachusetts has blocked most ICE raids at churches, ruling the practice violates religious freedom and the First Amendment. flag The injunction, applying to over 100 churches in a coalition of Lutheran, Baptist, and other faith groups, prohibits enforcement within 100 feet of church entrances and bans checkpoints, allowing only emergency actions. flag The decision reverses a Trump-era policy allowing broader immigration enforcement near houses of worship, citing fear and diminished community participation. flag The ruling follows similar legal actions in California and comes amid reports of multiple enforcement actions near churches since Trump took office. flag The Department of Homeland Security disputes the decision, maintaining ICE does not target churches. flag The case remains ongoing.
