27. ICE arrests in churches

Wed Apr 15, 2026, 05:41 PM

Trump rewrote Biden's policy on Day 1 to allow ICE arrests in churches and on church property. It's been happening.

From July 2025:
Religious Groups Sue Trump-Vance Administration Over Immigration Raids at Houses of Worship

If it's not happening in your church or diocese yet, you should have a plan anyway.
