Grijalva: Churches Are ‘Open Door’, Protesters Have ‘Right’ to Go In
Breitbart ^ | January 19, 2026 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 01/20/2026 12:16:26 PM PST by Morgana

On Monday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Source,” Rep. Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) said that when people find out “someone that’s supposed to be speaking for the community in church” is “a federal agent that is running ICE in their communities, they have the right to go in there.” “Churches have always been an open door,” and the people who barged into a church in St. Paul over the weekend weren’t violent.

Host Jim Sciutto asked, “Do you believe it was a step too far for protesters to go into a church?”

Grijalva answered, “I don’t. I don’t. I think that when they find out that someone that’s supposed to be speaking for the community in church is found out to be an ICE

She's FAFOing.

Beautiful church, btw...

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — "The late congressman Raúl Grijalva and his family have been parishioners at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church on Tucson's Southside for more than 50 years.

He lived just a few blocks away. So it's fitting that on the eve of his funeral, St. John would host a rosary service.

Monsignor Raúl Trevizo has been pastor of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church for more than 30 years. He's seen the impact Grijalva has had first-hand."

“”YES that’s the one. I watched him on Mark Levin over the weekend downright scary sh*t seriously I knew it was bad but not THAT bad..everyone needs to read his book to better understand its not just about importing new voters into this country that is the left’s plan, its a huge chuck of their plan it but goes FAR deeper than that.””

I’ve been observing the radleft for decades so most of what he has to say I’ve probably already seen evidence of, but yeah... I am interested in what he wrote about. Will probably include stuff that most of us haven’t seen or heard of (yet). The left is insidious and consistent in their evil agenda to either take us over or take us down. That much is certain.

That’s because their globalist string-pullers are getting nervous right about now. It has only been a year (today, in fact), and Trump is a huge spike (not just thorn) in their side and it’s only getting worse for them. I repeat...

expect anything from the left from now on. Literally anything.

well, I would hope that the mayor would have the police there fast, yes. But usually the police in most cities would hustle over to a call from a church that a disruptive unwelcome mob had pushed in

and if there’s a serious delay or failure of police response, it seems likely that would originate with the city mayor (as has approximately been seen in places like Oakland, California, etc.)

as for there being any favoritism in law enforcement, sure it happens. and both of us, I am confident, would condemn it

(I knew some arrogant leftist would say this, and it is total nonsense. The fact that churches want people to come and hear what they have to say and to share in their worship does not give anyone that right to invade their space, disrupt their worship and war against them on their own private property. Leftists are so incredibly arrogant in the way they think they can just trample everyone else’s rights.)

Yep.

A church is for the PREACHING of the Word of Almighty God.
Not for the TWISTED AGENDAS of the DEMOCRAT GOATS 🐐🐐🐐

Democrats are at War
with Reality, Biology
and Almighty God

Christian meetings are whatever the group want them to be at that time, and on that day.

THAT made me think of Larry Fink of Blackrock

‘ Football games are “open door”. Doesn’t mean you can take a dump at mid-field during half time’

The Jets do that in the third quarter all the time.

Churches may be “open door”, but they are for sure NOT “open season”. These protestors have no reason to be poaching. One little-noticed provision of the First Amendment, the very first clause, is “establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”, before freedom of speech, or the press, or people PEACEABLY to assemble, or petitioning the Government.

Arizona Democrat Rep. Adelita Grijalva needs to serve the same amount of time the longest January 6th protestor served. The Capitol actually is open to the public. A church is not.

And they didn't just enter a church, they entered a church and disrupted their worship service. Following that logic, every church, synagogue, mosque, and temple can be overrun by these Communists.

Every last one of them needs to be doing hard time.

These weren't people praying on a street corner, these were congregants in their own house of worship.

Unfortunately I think that’s true.

I don’t want to go into details but
I think that 2026 could get real interesting 🤔🤔🤔.

I hope that I’m wrong.

Well, we know what lengths they went to last time to keep orange man bad from succeeding. I shudder to think what the PTBs are planning this time around.

“...Grijalva: Churches Are ‘Open Door’, Protesters Have ‘Right’ to Go In...”

Fine..come on in. You will have the previledge of meeting Jesus....one way or the other.
Personally, with this world today, it really doesn’t matter that much to me which way it is either...spit.

So if a bunch of white protestors angry about DEI went marching into a black church and disrupted services, the author believes that would be fine as well?

Wrong. Churches are private property.

The right to assemble and peacefully protest in a public space does not supercede the rights of the congregation to worship in their church.

Every last one of those pukes who trespassed into that church must be charged with Federal civil rights violations and imprisoned.

It's no surprise that Larry Fink of Blackrock (controls $10.5 TRILLION DOLLARS in assets) is now with the Godless World Economic Forum
