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 legal challenge brought by a Lutheran church against a Tennessee law that makes it a crime to harbor immigrants. The ruling leaves the state statute in place, meaning religious groups and others who provide shelter or assistance to immigrants could face prosecution. The decision is likely to fuel ongoing national debate over state-level immigration enforcement and the role of faith-based charities aiding migrants.
Why now: The ruling touches on the contentious national debate over immigration enforcement and religious groups' ability to aid migrants.
