What is the sensitive locations policy and why are faith groups suing the Trump administration over it?

The sensitive locations policy, which has been in place for years, protects churches, schools, hospitals, and other public service places from immigration enforcement by ICE. This policy requires agents to get special permission before conducting any immigration operations in these locations. Twenty-seven diverse faith organizations, including Jewish, evangelical, and other Christian denominations, have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its elimination of this policy. The lawsuit stems from concerns that removing these protections will impact immigrant communities who rely on churches and other faith organizations for social services and worship. This legal action is part of a decades-long trend of religious communities advocating to protect immigrants within their congregations.
