I was awakened by an impatient cat, after seven hours of sound sleep.
From this morning's Email, Episcopal Church, interfaith partners challenge Trump’s ICE enforcement actions in court If the link is no longer valid, a quote, "[Episcopal News Service] More than two dozen Christian and Jewish organizations, including The Episcopal Church, sued the Trump administration on Feb. 11 for allowing immigration officers to target churches and other “sensitive” places for arrests as part of the president’s promised crackdown on legal and illegal immigration. The Episcopal Church and its fellow plaintiffs, represented by the nonpartisan Georgetown University Law Center, argue that by allowing arrests without first obtaining judicial warrants the Trump administration is violating First Amendment protections of both freedom of religion and freedom of association, because of the burden created by the “looming threat of immigration enforcement action at their places of worship and during their religious ceremonies.” The lawsuit notes that many congregations serving immigrant communities have already seen decreases in worship attendance and participation in social service ministries since the Trump administration’s new policies took effect." For those so inclined, The Daily Office Evening Prayer.
