Case Overview
Mennonite Church USA, et al., appealed Judge Friedrich's denial of its motion for a preliminary injunction which sought to prevent immigration enforcement at or near places of worship.
The Application
History
Mennonite Church USA argued that ICE enforcement at houses of worship violates the First Amendment and other constitutional protections, and that it would suffer irreparable harm to religious freedom and congregant safety if such enforcement were permitted to proceed.
The Conclusion
Judge Friedrich denied the preliminary injunction motion; the case is now on appeal before the D.C. Circuit, where the appellants challenge the denial of emergency relief.
