ICE raids in churches possible but unlikely, say Florida faith leaders

Feb 10, 2025 · Miami, FL

The Trump administration rescinded a federal policy discouraging ICE enforcement actions in churches and other sensitive locations. Legal experts clarify that while ICE agents can enter churches if they have judicial warrants, they would need proper legal authority and cannot conduct arbitrary raids. Faith leaders, including Archbishop Thomas Wenski, believe enforcement in churches remains unlikely due to constitutional protections, political sensitivity, and resource constraints.
