(CBN News) The US Department of Justice has sent a letter to the mayor of San Francisco, CA, urging the Democrat official to allow places of worship to open in the City by the Bay, arguing the city’s current guidance is discriminatory and “may violate the First Amendment.”
The San Francisco Chronicle reports the current COVID regulations limit the number of visitors to places of worship to one person at a time.
The letter signed by Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Eric Dreiband and US Attorney for the Northern District of California, David Anderson, told Mayor London Breed her city’s current COVID-19 restrictions favors businesses and not houses of worship, according to KGO-TV.
