Federal judge clears way for ICE raids at churches

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : The former rule, part of a long-standing "sensitive locations" policy, prevented ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents from going into places of worship unless under "exigent circumstances" or without high-level approval.
42% : A federal judge on Friday denied a multifaith coalition's request to block a Trump administration policy reversal that allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement agencies to freely enter places of worship to arrest migrants.
35% : "The evidence suggests that congregants are staying home to avoid encountering ICE in their own neighborhoods, not because churches or synagogues are locations of elevated risk."
