Immigration authorities can now enter schools, healthcare facilities and places of worship to conduct arrests, according to a new policy from the Department of Homeland Security.

“Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement. “The Trump administration will not tie the hands of our brave law enforcement, and instead trusts them to use common sense.”

    As social democratic hardcore atheist I’m not conflicted at all. Places of reflection (including places of worship), learning, and recovery, shouldn’t be casually defiled by violence including law enforcement.

    There are valid exceptions, where the necessity of protecting human dignity (in the philosophical sense) is paramount, but they should remain exceptions.
