A group of Quaker congregations filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration’s new policy allowing immigration arrests in houses of worship, NBC reported, as federal law enforcement officials have significantly ramped up arrests across the country in recent days as part of what Trump has promised would be the “largest deportation operation” in U.

The Quaker groups filed their suit on Monday in a Maryland federal court alleging that the policy change within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) directly affects their churches and the houses of worship of other faiths, in violation of their First Amendment religious freedoms.
