   Federal Court Reopens Case on ICE Actions in Churches

   A federal appeals court in the US has allowed 27 religious organizations to continue their legal battle to reinstate protections limiting ICE raids in churches and places of worship. The decision reverses a previous ruling that dismissed the organizations' request for a temporary protective order. The case, Mennonite Church USA v.
