The District of Colombia agreed to pay $220,000 to the Capitol Hill Baptist Church that sued over coronavirus mandates that restricted in-person prayer.
On Oct. 9, 2020, a federal court in the nation’s capital ruled in favor of the church and granted a preliminary injunction – allowing members of its congregation to meet outside. Though Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser lifted the majority of COVID-related restrictions in May, the suit persisted and alleged the city violated the First Amendment.More Related News
