A federal appeals court grilled lawyers representing a coalition of liberal churches this week as they attempted to resurrect the so-called 'sensitive locations' policy that effectively turned houses of worship into sanctuary zones for illegal aliens.
The churches are suing the Trump administration over President Trump's decision to revoke the Department of Homeland Security's previous policy that prohibited Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) from conducting enforcement operations at religious institutions, schools, and hospitals.
But here's what these virtue-signaling religious leaders don't want you to know: they're claiming that the mere threat of deportation is keeping people away from their services. Translation? They're admitting their congregations are packed with illegal immigrants who are now afraid to show up because they might actually face consequences for breaking our immigration laws.
Churches Choose Illegal Aliens Over American Citizens
Think about the twisted priorities here, Patriots. These churches are literally going to court to argue that they have a right to harbor people who entered our country illegally, while American citizens struggle with crime, drug trafficking, and economic displacement caused by mass illegal immigration.
The appeals court judges weren't buying the sob story, reportedly pressing the church lawyers on their legal standing and whether they can even prove concrete harm from the policy change. Good! It's about time our judiciary started asking tough questions instead of rubber-stamping every liberal lawsuit designed to obstruct Trump's America First agenda.
This case perfectly illustrates the broader battle President Trump faces in his second term. The same progressive institutions that spent four years undermining American sovereignty are now scrambling to preserve every Obama-Biden policy that put illegal aliens ahead of American citizens.
Trump's ICE Gets Back to Work
Meanwhile, ICE agents are finally free to do their jobs without having to navigate a maze of 'sensitive locations' that essentially created no-go zones for immigration enforcement. Under Trump's leadership, our immigration officers can once again prioritize public safety over political correctness.
The question every American should be asking is simple: why are these churches fighting harder to protect illegal immigrants than they ever fought to protect American families from the consequences of mass illegal immigration?
