Convención Joins More Than Two Dozen Christian and Jewish Denominations and Associations Sue to Protect Religious Freedoms
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection (ICAP) at Georgetown Law filed a lawsuit on behalf of over two dozen Christian and Jewish
religious denominations and associations in response to the Trump Administration’s rescission of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “sensitive locations” policy that
had restricted Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from conducting immigration raids, arrests, and other enforcement actions at houses of worship. The new policy thus greenlights enforcement actions that could interrupt religious services in furtherance of the Administration’s mass deportation plans. The case, Mennonite Church USA et al. v.
United States Department of Homeland Security et al., was filed in federal district court in Washington, DC.
We are a family of churches dedicated to serving vulnerable populations and ministering to our communities.
We deeply value our nation’s longstanding commitment to protecting the local church’s constitutional right to carry out its biblical mission without government interference.
The erosion of these protections leaves our congregations vulnerable to government intrusion, disrupting worship services, funerals, Bible studies, and other vital ministries that serve their communities.
