No feuding on holy ground, the Highlanders knew it, ICE knows it too. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1F2Rmbbn7D/
Undercover agents and a dropped recording device recently unveiled a covert government intelligence operation in a place you probably wouldn't expect: a Minnesota church gymnasium.
This week, a coalition of Lutheran, Quaker, and Baptist groups asked a federal court to hold DOJ officials in contempt, after an undercover ICE agent allegedly dropped a secret recording device she had been wearing inside a Minneapolis church. This stunning development comes months after ICE enforcement in houses of worship was supposedly barred by a federal judge.
The church also alleges that ICE agents have been photographing cars in its parking lot. Faith leaders say their sanctuaries should, per their court order, be spared from the Trump administration's aggressive immigration enforcement campaign. So far, the government is defending itself by claiming that they're technically conducting a criminal investigation, not immigration enforcement.
Should sacred spaces be off-limits to ICE?
