Judge dismisses Lutheran church challenge to Tennessee immigrant harboring law
Original: Judge dismisses Lutheran church challenge to Tennessee law making it a crime to harbor immigrants
A judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by a Lutheran church challenging a Tennessee law that makes it a crime to harbor immigrants. The ruling leaves the state measure in place, handing a setback to religious groups that argued the law criminalizes humanitarian aid to undocumented immigrants. The decision is likely to fuel debate over state-level immigration enforcement and the limits of religious-based objections to such laws.
Why now: The ruling lands amid heated national controversy over state immigration enforcement and faith-based sanctuary efforts.
