The city of St. Paul, Minnesota, will not press charges against anti-ICE protesters who disrupted a worship service at Cities Church after the city determined that the protest was peaceful.
On Jan. 18, a group of anti-ICE protesters disrupted a worship service at Cities Church, a church plant in St. Paul supported by the Southern Baptist Convention’s (SBC) Send Network. Videos of the incident show protesters chanting and screaming in the faces of church members as congregants attempted to worship.
Following the incident, Cities Church Lead Pastor Jonathan Parnell told Fox News that “several folks at that moment actually scattered, fearful it was a shooter situation. Children were obviously terrorized. Mothers were terrorized.”
Pam Bondi, who was recently removed from her position as U.S. attorney general by President Donald Trump, led the arrests of 39 people involved in the protests, including independent journalist and former CNN anchor Don Lemon.
Earlier this week, St. Paul City Attorney Irene Kao described videos captured during the protest as peaceful and said nothing unlawful occurred.
