Minnesota transgender State Rep. Leigh Finke called on leftists to storm more churches in protest of ICE.
Far-left anti-ICE protestors stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday.
Former CNN host Don Lemon livestreamed the crime.
Parishioners and children were terrified as leftists, led by BLM activist Nikema Armstrong shouted down the pastor.

The Justice Department is currently investigating for potential violations of the federal FACE Act.
“The FACE Act is a long-standing federal statute that prohibits force, threats, obstruction, any kind of interference with a religious place of worship. And it carries criminal penalties and violations,” DOJ official Alina Habba said on Monday.
However, Leigh Finke said anti-ICE protestors must continue to storm churches until “ICE is out of our state.”
Full statement from Leigh Finke:
Yesterday protesters disrupted services at Cities Church in Saint Paul, where the leader of the local I.C.E. office also serves as pastor.
The protest has caused outrage, promises of retribution and prosecution, and the usual round of upset. But it has had me thinking for the past 24 hours of the actions of Act Up and WHAM, in 1989, who staged a die in and protest in St Patrick’s Cathedral in New York. An action that similarly brought condemnation during a time when an out of control crisis was left to its destruction for far too long.
Actions like this—nonviolent resistance in the face of government inaction or oppression—are essential. And they must continue until I.C.E. is out of our state, the administration is out of the White House, and dignity and humanity for all of our neighbors is achieved.
Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day in America. Dr. King knew that injustice must be confronted. He knew the moral conscience of the nation must be made to hear the desperate plight of those who are suffering. He knew that the only way to achieve this at national scale was for people to rise up together in nonviolent revolution until all were free.
So did Act UP, and so do the people of Minneapolis. I.C.E. OUT
These Godless Reprobates are crossing a Red Line.
Years ago I asked: “When will they be trying
to beat down the door 🚪🚪🚪 like they did
in The Days of Lot?”
Apparently that Day has arrived
Tagline.
Thanks Ferris. Mentally ill individual attacks self and wants others to attack beauty to affirm the individual’s mental illness.
But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one. Thessalonians 3:3
What happens when they storm a church that has armed security?
demoNcrats
they really are the party of satan
(demoNcrats
they really are the party of satan)
They certainly act like it
On a DAILY BASIS
Until the scourge known as Marxism is no longer present on American soil.
America needs a Pinochet badly.
“Popular sandwich chain closes last location in Minnesota”
“A beloved Midwestern sandwich chain is shutting its last restaurant in Minnesota — and offering fans one last chance to stop by.
Milio’s, a Wisconsin-based sandwich chain, is closing its 3813 W. 44th St. location in the Linden Hills neighborhood of Minneapolis.
Kulseth reportedly pointed toward “happenings in the city and traffic dying down in January,” though it is unclear if he was referring to the anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protests and activity in Minneapolis specifically.”
I wonder what it would say if someone suggested folks storm its home....
Something...
Security would be the ones in trouble. What do the churches have to do with ICE taking out the trash? Nothing. It is an excuse to raid churches
There is no such thing as a “transgender.”
A person’s sex is determined at the moment of conception and cannot be changed.
A person can mutilate their body, but it does not change your sex.
The same goes for this mentally ill creature.
Does this mean it’s OK to storm mosques?
Security would be the ones in trouble....
Churches have a legal obligation to protect congregants from foreseeable harm, requiring reasonable security measures like training, emergency plans, and physical security.
Go for it!
a LOT of our members CARRY - just for the specific reason of unrestrained idiots like this who incite VIOLENCE against those they disagree with.
Really?
COPILOT: The fog of war is exactly the right phrase here — early claims fly fast, and they’re often wrong. So I went straight to the verified reporting you pulled in through search, and here’s what the confirmed outlets are saying right now:
Multiple mainstream sources report the same core facts:
Two Portland police officers were shot and injured in the Lloyd District Monday night.
Both officers were taken to the hospital and are in stable condition.
Police are searching for a single suspect, described as a white male in his mid‑30s, armed and dangerous, last seen with a backpack and shopping bag.
The incident began as a call about a threat with a knife before shots were fired.
None of the verified reports mention:
an anti‑ICE activist
political motivation
affiliation with any activist group
Those details do not appear in any of the confirmed reporting from ABC News, KATUKOMO, OregonLive, or other outlets in the search results.
In breaking situations, especially ones involving police shootings, early claims on social media often:
misidentify suspects
assign motives prematurely
inject political framing before facts are known
That’s the classic “fog of war” effect — the first loud narrative isn’t always the true one.
Right now, the only confirmed facts are:
two officers were shot
the suspect is at large
the suspect’s identity and motive have not been publicly established
