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.

I have no idea ...

To me, “five by five” describes a radio transmission which is received strongly and without distortion or interference.

Why only two arrests? Why these two? I'm trying to understand the restraint. Back when I was a young, the good guys arrested all the bad guys, put them in a cage at the station, and sorted them out afterward. When did that change?

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


I don’t disagree with you. Lets enjoy letting this play out. The dept of justice has limited resources. They have to pick and choose for a variety of reason. Convictions are the goal, lets if they think there is enough evidence.

I trust our current team and understand the difficult choices they have to make.

and again, I remind you that the court of public opinion is also a court that we CAN be involved in. Trump understands that is the big court and we can help him.

Etymology
The phrase “Court of Public Opinion” combines the legal metaphor of a “court,” where judgments are made, with “public opinion,” indicating the views held by a broad group of people. The term underscores the idea that society can render judgments that are as influential, if not more so, than those handed down by formal institutions.

Court (Middle English: “courte” from the Old French “corte”, from Latin “cohors”, meaning “enclosure, retinue, or cohort”)
Public (Latin: “publicus,” meaning “of the people”)
Opinion (Latin: “opinionem,” meaning “conjecture, fancy, belief”)

And now, some federal magistrate judge has refused to sign the complaint against Don Lemon

The doj did try to bring charges against Lemon but another corrupt judge refused them. Accepting Don lemon’s claim that he was there as a journalist. So we can’t blame Pam for this one.

I also suspect that they arrested the two ringleaders only in order to keep it simple and to make a pretty good example of them as a deterrent. I think it’s probably easier than arresting and trying to prosecute 20 people. It’s a well used strategy of getting the ring leaders and stringing them up by their short and curlies rather than trying to take everyone down at the same time.
