Trump administration arrests three protesters who disrupted Minneapolis church service
Source: NBC NEWS
Federal agents with Homeland Security and the FBI arrested three protesters in connection with a demonstration that interrupted Sunday service at a church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Attorney General Pam Bondi said on social media Thursday.
The protesters — Nekima Levy Armstrong, Chauntyll Louisa Allen and William Kelly — along with others involved in the demonstration objected to a pastor at Cities Church who they said works for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Meanwhile, a federal magistrate judge rejected a criminal complaint against journalist Don Lemon, who said he was present at the church protest because he was reporting on it, according to a source familiar with the matter, who described Bondi as “enraged” by the decision.
Several organizers of the protest were calling for the resignation of pastor David Easterwood, who they say is also the acting director of an ICE field office in St. Paul. In that role, Easterwood spoke alongside Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem about ICE activity in October, according to video from KARE 11, an NBC affiliate in Minneapolis.

I haven't been to church on a regular basis in over 50 years, but even after all that time I can recognize the stupidity in this statement.
