得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿起诉得克萨斯州住房和社区发展部,声称其禁止资助住房和无家可归方案中的宗教活动的规则违反了《第一修正案》。
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued the Texas Department of Housing and Community Development, claiming its rules banning religious activities in funded housing and homelessness programs violate the First Amendment.
他争辩说,这些限制迫使信仰团体压制宗教习俗以获得资助,侵犯了宗教自由。
He argues the restrictions force faith-based groups to suppress religious practices to receive funding, infringing on religious liberty.
诉讼针对多个方案,包括紧急住房和无家可归服务,尽管没有提及拒绝提供资金的具体案例。
The lawsuit targets multiple programs including emergency housing and homelessness services, though no specific cases of denied funding were cited.
