A judge has given the Trump admininstration the green light to go into houses of worship for the purpose of enforcing the country's immigration laws. 

Religious groups, as we will see, brought a lawsuit in an attempt to prevent Trump's immigration agents from being able to enter houses of worship.

This lawsuit is still not over. It will continue, but, while it does, immigration agents will be allowed to enter houses of worship for the purpose of enforcing immigration law.

Here's what's going on:

Trump has made it a priority, upon re-entering the White House, to fix the southern border crisis that had been intensified by the Biden administration. The president has already seen much success, but not without pushback from those who support open border policies.

What open-border advocates are particularly unhappy about is the Trump administration's attempt to locate and remove illegal immigrants residing in America. To this end, local officials who support open borders have been doing what they can to inhibit immigration enforcement officers.

One of the questions that has repeatedly come up is where immigration officers are allowed to enter for the purposes of enforcing the law. One such question is whether they can enter schools. Another is whether they can enter churches.

Immediately upon entering office, Trump signed an order that essentially gave agents the okay to enter such premises. In response, Christian and Jewish groups, among others, brought a lawsuit, on behalf of millions of Americans, attempting to stop the Trump administration from being able to enter churches.

"The groups argued the policy violated the right to practice their religion," Newsmax reports.

The latest

Those bringing the lawsuit attempted to obtain preliminary relief. In other words, they asked the court to stop the Trump administration from being able to enter houses of worship while the case plays out in the courtroom.

Judge Friedrich, on Friday, refused to grant this request.

According to Just the News, Friedrich wrote:

At least at this juncture and on this record, the plaintiffs have not made the requisite showing of a ‘credible threat’ of enforcement. Nor does the present record show that places of worship are being singled out as special targets.

So, for now, the Trump administration can proceed as it was.

This, though, is likely not the end of the matter.
