Is it, though? Lots of people talking about it. Thats what protest is all about.I don’t know. Disrupting a Church service is counterproductive, regardless.
What will it achieve though? Other than getting people to talk?Is it, though? Lots of people talking about it. Thats what protest is all about.
Yes, yes. We all know how concerned the Right is about "The Law"And it's a violation of the law.

BRAVO!Leader of disruptive protest inside Minnesota church is arrested
Bondi announced the arrest of Nekima Levy Armstrong in a post on X. Protesters on Sunday entered the Cities Church in St. Paul, where a local official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement serves as a pastor, chanting “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good,” referring to the 37-year-old mother of three who was fatally shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis.
Say it aint so:
I do not condone force entry into places of worship for any reason. With that said, once again the Trump DOJ is doing some ham sandwich reaching not because of the incident, but who it is regarding the incident. This will go nowhere.
I was just coming to post this. He approved 2 but not Lemon.Magistrate judge rejects charges against Don Lemon over anti-ICE protest in Minnesota church
To quote this guy:
This aint going nowhere.
Yes. The who. With the Trump DOJ, it's not what was done, but rather who done it.I was just coming to post this. He approved 2 but not Lemon.
The magistrate judge did sign off on the two arrests that Bondi had announced, but would not approve charges against Lemon.
CBS News’ article reported that Bondi was “enraged at the magistrate’s decision,” according to “a source familiar with the matter.”
Happy to hear that!Leader of disruptive protest inside Minnesota church is arrested

The FACE Act requires obstruction, the use of force or the threat of the use of force. It's not clear any of those apply.Sorry you missed this:
18 U.S.C. § 248, also known as the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, prohibits the use of force, threats of force, and physical obstruction to intentionally injure, intimidate, or interfere with individuals seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health services. It also protects individuals exercising their First Amendment rights at places of worship. The Act was enacted in 1994 and aims to ensure safe access to clinics and places of worship. Violations can result in fines and imprisonment, with penalties increasing for repeat offenses.
BRAVO!

I would post the video, but the level of obscenities' inside the church would be breaking forum rules.The FACE Act requires obstruction, the use of force or the threat of the use of force. It's not clear any of those apply.

Yelling inside a church as opposed to outside certainly seems to be obstruction of worship to me.The FACE Act requires obstruction, the use of force or the threat of the use of force. It's not clear any of those apply.
There are people, even on this thread, who think this was a harmless thing to do. Traumatizing children is a good thing!Yelling inside a church as opposed to outside certainly seems to be obstruction of worship to me.

Does that child look at peace or scared?

A Church Under Siege: The Day Anti-ICE Protesters Invaded a Minnesota Worship Service
Storming the Sanctuary: Anti-ICE Activists Disrupt Worship in St. Paul A Sunday service. A sanctuary. Families gathered to worship. And then a political mob decided the church pews were their new protest stage. On Sunday, January 18, 2026 , a group of activists entered Cities Church in St. Pawww.powermentor.org
Watch the video - I found a clean one
The protesters enter a full church - 1:30 seconds later - the church is all but empty - they didn't all leave for the buffet - they were intimidated out of a house of worship. And that is illegal.
