SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Pacific Justice Institute (PJI) has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review a case brought by three Southern California churches seeking to open Christian preschools under a regulatory system that conditions licensure on the surrender of fundamental constitutional rights.

The case, Foothills Christian Ministries v. Bonta, arises from San Diego County, where three churches challenge the California Child Day Care Act and its accompanying regulatory scheme administered by the California Department of Social Services.

Under current California law, parochial preschools must accept restrictions that directly limit their religious mission. Among other requirements, religious preschools may not require participation in religious activities or attendance at religious services. They must post signage informing families that they may bring in an outside spiritual advisor, even when that advisor conflicts with the school’s faith commitments.

The regulatory scheme also authorizes unannounced inspections without a warrant, probable cause, or prior notice. State investigators may seize records and question employees without advising them of their rights, even though such inquiries may later be referred for criminal prosecution.

“These churches are asking for the constitutional protections every American institution is entitled to receive,” said Kevin Snider, lead attorney for the churches. “The government should not be permitted to condition a license on the waiver of rights guaranteed by the First and Fourth Amendments. Religious institutions must be free to carry out their mission within the bounds of the Constitution.”

After adverse rulings in the lower courts, PJI has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case, asserting that California’s licensing requirements violate the Free Exercise Clause, the Free Speech Clause, and the Fourth Amendment.

PJI Founder and President Brad Dacus said the case presents an important opportunity for the Court to reaffirm long standing constitutional principles.

“These churches seek the same constitutional protections Americans take for granted,” said Kevin Snider, lead attorney for the churches. “By entangling parochial schools in a web of unconstitutional regulations, the government seriously interferes with the spiritual formation of children.”

The three churches involved seek to open Christian preschools that integrate faith into daily instruction and spiritual formation, consistent with their sincerely held beliefs.

An impending government shutdown would “stall funding” for the Federal Emergency Management Agency shortly after a “crippling” winter storm, Sen. Marsha Blackburn told The Daily Signal.

“Most of the Democrats do not want a shutdown,” Blackburn said. “I think also it’s important to realize we have had a massive storm. It has crippled much of our nation and FEMA funding, Coast Guard funding, comes out of the DHS budget, and I really don’t think they want to end up stalling funding for FEMA as we are dealing with such a tragic aftermath.”

Some Democrats are threatening to vote against an upcoming spending package if a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security is not given a separate vote. The House has sent the Senate a package of six appropriations bills, including one for DHS, that the president must sign into law in order to avert a partial government shutdown on Jan. 30.

Democrat threats to shut down the government by voting no on DHS funding come after the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, 37, in Minneapolis by federal immigration enforcement officers. The agency oversees immigration enforcement.

However, the One Big Beautiful Bill, signed into law in 2025, already funded Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Patrol. Thus, the agencies would still remain funded and fully operational regardless of the vote this week.

If the Senate removed DHS funding from the package, it would have to go back to the House for approval. The House is not in session this week, making it unlikely that the government would remain funded beyond the Jan. 30 deadline.

The government shutdown would follow a week of historic winter weather across the nation.

“Tennessee has been hit unbelievably hard with the ice storm,” Blackburn said. “This is going to take a while to clean up, and it’s inappropriate to not fund DHS in the middle of this.”

When asked if Congress needs to investigate the events surrounding Pretti’s death, Blackburn said “there’s already two investigations going on: the FBI investigation and the professional responsibility investigation.”

“They should be completed soon, and we should know those results,” she said.

Alex Brusewitz, a top adviser to President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, said a Democrat shutdown over DHS funding is “terrible politics.”

“I think it’s absolutely terrible politics to vote against border security, to vote against ICE,” he said. “And if I was a Democrat consultant, I would be saying, ‘Don’t do that, don’t do that, don’t do that.’ But because I’m a Republican consultant, I’m gonna say, ‘do it, do it, do it.’ Who cares? Because it’s terrible politics for them.”

Democrats are “always on the wrong side of the issues,” the Republican strategist said.

“Donald Trump has done such a great job of identifying issues that 80% of Americans support, and then getting the Democrats to take the 20% side, every time,” he said. “On the gender transition stuff, they take the 20%. Actually I think it’s like 1%, only 1% wanna see gender transition surgeries for children. But with the immigration, 80% of Americans, maybe more, they want strong borders. They want a strong country.”

“I don’t think picking a fight on border security is gonna be a good move for them,” Brusewitz said of the Democrats.
