A group of Quaker congregations have sued the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), alleging that it is infringing on their religious freedom by allowing arrests of illegal immigrants at their meetings.
The lawsuit, filed in the District of Maryland on Jan. 27, reads: “Allowing armed government agents wearing [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] emblazoned jackets to park outside religious service and monitor who enters or to interrupt the service and drag a congregant out during the middle of worship is anathema to Quaker religious exercise.
