A federal judge in Maryland on Monday partly granted a request from Quakers and other religious groups to limit the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s authority to conduct immigration enforcement in houses of worship.

Quakers, Baptists and Sikhs filed a lawsuit opposed to Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions at places of worship, which have been off limits.

The administration will not be able to make arrests where the Quakers, Cooperative Baptists and Sikhs worship, as those groups filed a lawsuit against the federal government.

Baptist, Sikh, and Quaker groups, including the Philadelphia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, filed the lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security.

A federal judge determined a new policy on immigration enforcement actions at houses of worship could threaten the religious freedom of several congregations.
