DOJ Arrests Leaders of Anti-ICE Mob That Invaded Minneapolis Church

  • A BLM leader who serves on a school board, a woke TikToker, and a third alleged ringleader of an anti-ICE mob who stormed a Minnesota church during Sunday service have been arrested, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday.


    “We have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota,” AG Bondi said in a statement on X.
    “Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP,” she said.

    Armstrong allegedly led the raucous group, including Don Lemon, from the Racial Justice Network to storm the church and call out resident pastor David Eastwood, accusing him of moonlighting as the acting field office director for ICE in Minnesota.
    A picture of Armstrong being led away in handcuffs was shared by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on X on Thursday morning.
    “Religious freedom is the bedrock of the United States – there is no First Amendment right to obstruct someone from practicing their religion,” Sec. Noem said on X.


    AG Bondi also confirmed that a second suspect, Chauntyll Louisa Allen, who bragged about organizing the protests, had been taken into custody in a separate X post.
    Allen — a Black Lives Matter leader and member of the Saint Paul Public Schools Board of Education — had earlier compared herself to Jesus, saying she had been inspired by his cleansing of the temple.
    “I grew up in the church and one of the things that I remember about Jesus Christ is that when things weren’t going right in the church, he went in and he flipped tables,” Allen told TMZ, adding that her mother was a pastor.

    A spokesperson for the city’s Board of Education told The Post that the district “has been made aware of this incident and is following all applicable policies and procedures” but “does not comment on pending legal matters.”



    Later Thursday afternoon, it was announced that an anti-ICE influencer, William Kelly, had also been arrested for his involvement in the church riots.
    Kelly, who uses the handle “DaWokeFarmer” on TikTok, was pictured on X being taken into custody while wearing a beanie hat emblazoned with the words “F*ck Trump,”
    In a TikTok video shared Monday, Kelly had goaded Bondi to arrest him.
    “Pam Bondi, you want to come and arrest me? You want to come and give me charges? So be it. And for all the people giving me death threats, threatening my life, kill me. Go ahead, kill me,” he ranted in the garbled video.

    Armstrong, Allen, and Kelly are being charged with “conspiracy against rights,” which makes it a federal crime to intimidate someone in the free exercise of their rights as secured by the US Constitution.
    AG Bondi’s announcement was met with dozens of responses calling for the arrest of frequently-fired independent news commentato rDon Lemon, who was allegedly among the rabble who stormed the church.

    “Thank you AG Bondi! Let us know when Don Lemon is arrested as well,” one X user wrote.

    “Christophobia has no place in Minnesota (or anywhere),” added a second.





That seems pretty straight up communist agitators in all 3 arrests, using Leninist / Stalinistt intimidation tactics and the threat of violence, to silence and intimidate away all opposition.
All these screeching clowns are long-time Leftist activists, self-described leaders in BLM and Anti-ICE.


Also the First Amendment :
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people to peaceably assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.


So the BLM and Anti-ICE mob has the right to hold a public meeting, to say "fuck Trump". Or maybe something that people not America-hating Marxists would actually listen to.

They DON'T[/b have the right to invade a church and prevent those gathered from even having their scheduled service. They DON'T have the right to scream at the churchgoers and intimidate them, causing many to flee the church in fear they were about to be the victims of violence.
To express your opinion is one thing.

Maybe to approach the pastor or others in the church, during office hours, when NOT interrupting a service, and arrange at a mutually agreed time to have a forum discussion, to debate the issue.

But to invade the church, scream in their faces completely unsolicited, silence them, intimidate them, scream at them, THAT is not free speech. That is intimidation and the threat of violence, to completely silence their political opposition. It is not peaceful or civil.

It is ultimately [b]terrorism , using the threat of violence to intimidate your political opposition into silence, into not resisting, not voicing their own beliefs or voicing their support for ICE deporting criminal illegals, into not assembling, and being forced to flee. Using terror to silence all opposition.

And that church, and thousands of other churches nationwide will probably have one or several members on upper balconies ready with guns, so they can never be threatened in a similar way again. That is Democrat-Bolshevism, winning through intimidation, not by open debate. So it is most definitely a violation of First Amendment rights.
And hey, Leftist assholes, thanks for providing the video of your own crime, to insure your federal prosecution and imprisonment.

I don't see how these Leftist thugs were "plants", they were all three longtime vocal BLM, Antti-ICE Marxists, what they did themselves, VIDEO RECORDED by themselves, and by desperate opportunist Don Lemon, clawing for a few minutes of fame, is textbook intimidation, and violation of First Amendment rights of those they deliberately terrorized and intimidated..

Likewise, the Leftist mobs who make 24-hour camps outside conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices' homes, and ONLY outside the conservative ones, to yell and make noise all night, to intimidate and threaten them and their families all day and all night, to even follow and track the schedules of their children to and from school, to intimidate Supreme Cour justices into not ruling by the law as they should, but out of threat from the mob.
That is also terrorism, that should likewise be prosecuted and imprisoned. Mob violence and the threat of violence. Obey... or else.
