Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends v. Department of Homeland Security
Case Overview
The government appealed Judge Chuang's order granting a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction which prevents ICE enforcement in houses of worship.
The Application
The lower court determined that ICE enforcement in houses of worship likely violates these constitutional protections, as such enforcement directly burdens religious assembly and exercise without adequate justification, and that less restrictive alternatives exist for immigration enforcement.
The Conclusion
A preliminary injunction was granted preventing ICE enforcement in houses of worship; the government's appeal of this injunction is pending before the Fourth Circuit. The injunction currently remains in effect during the pendency of the appeal.
