New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio told the Big Apple’s religious community that fines and permanent closures may come their way if they refuse to stop worship services during the coronavrius pandemic.
Mr. de Blasio set himself up for some legal battles last week while addressing the health crisis.
“The NYPD, fire department, buildings department — everyone has been instructed that if they see worship services going on, they will go to the officials of that congregation, they’ll inform them they need to stop the services and disperse,” he said. “If that does not happen, they will take additional action up to the point of fines and potentially closing the building permanently.”

Illegal. period...not permanently
Blasio has no authority to instruct anyone to do police work if they are not deputized.
Democrats out to destroy the bill of rights any way they can..."let's not let a crisis go to waste" ... pass all progressive reforms, rules, regulations and give aways!!!
No, no they won't.
I don't think this can be done legally.
However, people still having services now, especially in New York is reprehensible, selfish, and reckless. It puts other peoples lives at risk... not just those attending.
Stay home and pray. I promise God can still hear you.

See? Taking away ALL of your freedoms in the guise of "safety."
The Mayor should read the constitution. Amazing how many elected officials don't know what it says.
de Blasio is an asshat at best.
Is there anything regarding Mosque's? Buddhist Temples?
