A coalition of faith groups have filed a lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to prevent deportation raids from occurring in their places of worship. On January 21, 2025, DHS announced they would rescind the policy prohibiting deportation raids in "sensitive locations," particularly places of worship. The plaintiffs argue that the new rule allowing raids in sensitive locations violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, the First Amendment, and the Administrative Procedure Act.
