(The Center Square) – Agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are blocked from entering churches of Cooperative Baptists, Quakers and Sikhs to carry out enforcement operations unless they have a warrant, or in certain specified circumstances, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled.

Upholding last year’s preliminary injunction, the appellate court’s unanimous decision from a three-judge panel also applies to other agents in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The injunction restored part of a sensitive location policy that had been revoked by Homeland Security.
