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
No worries, though. Alina Habba said yesterday that they are ... wait for it ... LOOKING INTO IT.
Minnesota mentally ill State Rep call for Socialists and Communists to do more crime against innocent people.
Fix the headline to be more accurate!!
I’m getting the impression ICE is not the primary target, just the pretext.
My brother is on a church security team. Two guys were hanging around the parking lot, so they were approached. They needed money for tires. They were asked how they got to that church but had no good answer. The men surrounded them and told them they better leave cause it was going to get real if they didn’t. They left.
Enric Torres got 20 years for “insurrection on January 6th, even though he was no where near the Capitol. Biden st the rules. Arrest that tranny. Conspiracy to violate FACE act at the very least.
What these terrorists are hoping for is their jihadi foot soldiers start sending homicide bombers to blow up churches. Look how popular the Palestinian allies are.
Black church?
How about a mosque?
Had this scum done ithis to one of those they would be in jail in minutes.
Course this being Christians, the “authorities” look the other way.
I don't believe trannies have any right to freedom of speech or to bear arms. Insane people need to be removed from society and placed in mental institutions.
This guy needs to go to the nuthouse.
She must really terrify the hapless AG.
And of course, this is the exact definition of sedition.
Or a mosque.
If they done this at a mosque their heads would be detached from their bodies.
If I squint, I see a hooded sheriff in 1892 saying the same thing about mixed-race churches in town.
Where is Amy Klobachar? Missing?

Counting on Christians to ‘turn the other’ cheek could end up being a fatal mistake for some of these idiots.
“”Maybe THIS will wake up the Frozen Chosen
to get off their tails and vote AGAINST
the Godless Reprobate Terrorist Democrats?””
***
Yes, maybe it will “encourage” those on the right that were planning on sitting on their couches and letting others do the heavy lifting this November... to change their mind and go vote for any and all GOP candidates on the ballots. Which is exactly what we need to happen. Thanks for your help, idiot lefties!
You see, the Conservatives were nearing their limit of tolerance of the constant harassment by the left, and when the left started interrupting church services the Conservative Christians could tolerate no more. It was, as the old saying goes, the straw that broke the camel's back."

Here’s the precise, legally grounded definition of sedition, drawn directly from the federal sources.
Sedition is language or conduct intended to incite insurrection against lawful government authority.
Legal scholars describe it as:
“speaking or writing words calculated to excite disaffection against the Constitution… or to incite any person to commit a crime to the disturbance of the peace.”
The United States does not have a standalone crime called “sedition.” Instead, the operative federal crime is seditious conspiracy, defined in 18 U.S.C. § 2384:
Two or more people commit seditious conspiracy if they conspire to do any of the following by force:
Overthrow the U.S. government
Put down or destroy the government
Levy war against the United States
Oppose by force the authority of the United States
Prevent, hinder, or delay by force the execution of any U.S. law
Seize, take, or possess by force any U.S. government property
Penalty: up to 20 years in federal prison.
Under Chapter 115 of Title 18, related crimes include:
Rebellion or insurrection (§ 2383)
Advocating overthrow of government (§ 2385)
Because of strong free‑speech protections, sedition charges require:
Intent,
Agreement, and
Use of force (or planned force).
Mere criticism of government is not sedition.
We will see.
