A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by churches challenging the Trump administration’s policy allowing immigration arrests near churches.

Judge Dabney Friedrich ruled the plaintiffs failed to show sufficient harm, stating concerns like declining attendance were too speculative.

The policy reversed a Biden-era rule limiting enforcement near sensitive locations, including churches and schools. Although churches claimed the policy led to empty pews, the judge said broader immigration actions could be to blame.
