“I’m dumbfounded,” the police chief told Block Club. “Every time I talk with [federal officials], it feels like their rules keep changing. We don’t really know what’s happening, I’m sorry I can’t say more. We just want to keep people safe and let them peacefully protest without getting hurt.”

Protesters expressed concern that the direction from federal officials could be in violation of the First Amendment, which guarantees both freedom of religion and assembly. The move also comes days after the AP reported that Pope Leo XIV urged authorities to allow pastoral workers to be able to access detained migrants.

Is there any part of the First Amendment the Trump administration isn’t happy to violate?

Ask marco, he'll just ask you who voted for religion for immigrants or something.

"Federal legal precedent for religion in federal detentions is primarily based on the First Amendment's Free Exercise Clause and the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (RLUIPA). These laws protect an inmate's right to practice their religion, but government restrictions are permissible if they are the least restrictive means to serve a compelling government interest. Key court cases, like Holt v. Hobbs, have affirmed these rights, ruling against restrictions such as a ban on beards based on security concerns, which the Supreme Court found to be a violation of the law."
