U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich, a Donald Trump appointee, found the coalition of 27 Christian and Jewish groups lacked standing and failed to offer evidence that any such raids are happening.

The judge, who was appointed by Trump, blocked the lawsuit, filed by both Christian and Jewish groups to block immigration agents from conducting enforcement operations at places of worship

A federal judge on Friday sided with the Trump administration in allowing immigration agents to conduct enforcement operations at houses of worship for now, despite a lawsuit filed by religious groups over the new policy.
