Sanctuary Services and Site Visits by ICE
In January 2025, the Department of Homeland Security rescinded a long-standing policy that prevented immigration enforcement actions from taking place at houses of worship, with limited exceptions. The rescission of the Sensitive Locations Policy leaves many congregations vulnerable to unannounced visits by Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) and raises questions on what to do if that happens. In this timely presentation, John Medeiros will discuss steps congregations can take to prepare for ICE site visits, and will provide an overview on the legal risks of offering sanctuary services.
