Federal authorities have arrested two anti-ICE agitators after a mob stormed a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday.

Bondi named Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Louisa Allen as the suspects. FBI Director Kash Patel says the pair are charged with violating the FACE Act, which prohibits interfering with the exercise of religion at a place of worship.

"Minutes ago at my direction, HSI and FBI agents executed an arrest in Minnesota. So far, we have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota," Bondi wrote on X.

"A second arrest has been made at my direction. Chauntyll Louisa Allen has been taken into custody," she announced minutes later.

"We will share more updates as they become available. Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP," she added.

Armstrong, whose website identifies her as a civil rights lawyer and "scholar-activist," helped to organize the storming of Cities Church in in St. Paul on Sunday.

Allen is a member of the St. Paul School Board who also helped organize the protest.

Again,

yes, he was an opportunities, but it does not appear that he was one of the direct organizers. There may be that evidence and I am sure they are looking for it.

We have good people with limited resources looking at the evidence for CONVICTION, not show and tell like the dems do.

There was an X post where the ringleaders mentioned those who helped them.

There are six or seven names—the Lemon creep was one of them.

Don Lemon was specifically told to leave and did not. He’s guilty of trespass at the very least. But he also was an organizer of the riot according to his own admissions.

I understand, but that may not be enough for a conviction.

But it is very good for the court of public opinion and that is part of OUR job to help shine the light continually and often.

The court of public opinion is very powerful and has longer term results.

If you are talking about the bearded scum bag yelling at the young people in church his name is William Kelly. He is a paid protester that does not live in Minnesota. He has a Go Fund Me that has reached over 45 grand so far. Youtubers are now following him around and and harassing him. He told the Youtubers "What are you doing? Stop following me around!"

It is definitely good enough for an indictment.

The secret to victory is accomplish one task at a time.

I trust Trumps team that if they have enough evidence, they will do so. Arresting the first two might lead to that evidence.

Now, that is the kind of announcement I want to see from DOJ!

Arrests and prosecutions.

Well done! Now do more of that!

Agree. There is probably not enough evidence on Lemon, yet.

It matters not a whit whether he “organized” it or not. He was a direct participant in a highly illegal publicity stunt. He should be made an example of.

You know, as a warning to others
