The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ordered a federal judge in Brownsville to determine the legality of a Texas policy change that bars clergy from accompanying death row inmates into the execution chamber.
The 2019 policy was challenged by inmate Ruben Gutierrez, a Roman Catholic who argues that the clergy ban violates his right to the free exercise of religion and a federal law that protects the religious practice of inmates.
In a one-paragraph order, the Supreme Court directed U.S. District Judge Hilda Tagle to analyze and rule on the claims raised by Gutierrez, who was sentenced to death in the 1998 murder of Brownsville s Escolastica Harrison, 85.
