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

“Churches have always been an open door,”

Just like the Halls of Congress?

As prophesied by Jesus Christ Himself.


Matthew 10:33-35
Amplified Bible

33 But the one who denies and rejects Me before men, that one
I will also deny and reject before My Father Who is in Heaven.

34 “Do not think that I have come to bring Peace on the Earth;
I have not come to bring Peace, but a Sword
[of Division between Belief and UnBelief].

35 For I have come to set a man against his father,
and a daughter against her mother,
and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2010:33-35&version=AMP


Luke 12:51-53
King James Version

51 Suppose ye that I am come to give Peace on Earth?
I tell you, Nay; but rather Division:

52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house Divided,
three against two, and two against three.

53 The father shall be Divided against the son,
and the son against the father;
the mother against the daughter,
and the daughter against the mother;
the mother in law against her daughter in law,
and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

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

No surprise at all. All the usual suspect cretins, easily visible and floating on the top (like other garbage). Ironic, eh?

Exactly this.

Our small church has security headed by a former presidential secret service and army cornel in charge (and a highly trained team, all of whom carry)

A terrorist would not make it past our foyer.

The spirit of antichrist IS ALWAYS
working AGAINST the Gospel,
Knowledge and Proclamation of
Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior


The Enemy is That Old Serpent 🐍 Called the Devil and Satan

The Devil's Goats 🐐🐐🐐 do the spirit of antichrist
works of their REAL FATHER (John 8:44)

Well I think the purpose for going controls, if I go to restaurant I am there to eat, if I go to movie I am their to watch, if I go to grocery store I am their to shop. Finally, If I go to church I go to worship God.

If I go to any of those places to protest I expect I will be asked to leave. I assume the question is intent and whether the church asked them to leave.

They can’t help themselves

They feel like they HAVE to do it

They are seeds sown by the Evil One
(Wicked One - NKJV) ; i.e. Satan


Matthew 13:36-43
New King James Version

The Parable of the Tares Explained

36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His Disciples came to Him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the Tares of the Field.”

37 He answered and said to them: “He who sows the Good Seed is the Son of Man.

38 The Field is the World, the Good Seeds are the sons of the Kingdom, but the Tares are the sons of the WICKED ONE.

39 The Enemy who sowed them is the Devil, the Harvest is the End of the Age, and the Reapers are the Angels.

40 Therefore as the Tares are gathered and burned in the Fire, so it will be at the End of this Age.

41 The Son of Man will send out His Angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all things that offend, AND THOSE WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS,

42 and will cast them into the furnace of Fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

43 Then the Righteous will shine forth as the Sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

The FACE Act (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act), codified at 18 U.S.C. § 248, is a federal law enacted in 1994 that prohibits violence, threats, intimidation, and property damage targeting individuals seeking or providing reproductive health services, as well as individuals at places of religious worship—the law is enforced by the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation and carries criminal penalties including up to 11 years imprisonment for violent conduct and fines up to $250,000.

The question to ask is, "Would a reasonable person, especially an unarmed or elderly person, or a family with children, have been threatened?" That gets you to disturbing the peace, and menacing, which is clearly what was actually going on and was the clear intent. It certainly wasn't political persuasion.

Listening to another protestor speechifying “Love your neighbor as yourself” and how anti-Christian and they dragged a Liberian immigrant to ICE center and they took pictures of him like a slave or cattle.

She definitely has KuRayZee Bitchitis and there is no known cure....

What an ass clown. She can believe whatever she wants. This is expressly illegal, and an illustration of how profoundly stupid some “representatives” are.

We are in the realm of slogans and violence emitted by cretins in government.

Churches may be “open door”...

Churches are private property. They control who can come in and who can get kicked out.

What recourse do they have when the cops won’t respond, the mayor, the governor, and AG are all different combination flavors of crooks, grifters, race agitators and fairies?

Churches are private property. Churches should arm their wardens.

Mob for hire rights ends where another(’s) begin. With that said, bring back dueling laws or loosen Stand Your Ground laws where you can shoot these paid agitators as you engage in a physical ‘show and tell’ project of what the 2nd Amendment is. In the face of State and Federal cucked actors who hold law abiding citizens hostage and urinate all over the Social Contract, I say bring on Locke's State of Nature.
