Attorneys with the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) filed comments with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), urging officials there to support a proposed rule to stop public housing managers from confiscating Bibles and other religious literature from facilities under the department’s control.

“We believe the rule should be implemented fully as the department has proposed,” ACLJ Executive Director Jordan Sekulow said in an April 13 letter to HUD made available to The Epoch Times.
