A federal judge has declined to block the Trump administration from carrying out detention and deportation operations in houses of worship, stating that the religious organizations involved did not provide enough evidence of being targeted. The ruling raises doubts about claims that religious congregations are at a heightened risk of raids. While there have been a few arrests in churches this year, the judge stated that there is no credible threat of imminent enforcement. This decision is not final, but it suggests that the groups behind the lawsuit may not prevail.
