BREAKING - Anti ICE agitators, led by failed CNN host Don Lemon, stormed a Minneapolis church this morning, halting services and holding members hostage because they believed the pastor was ICE affiliated.

“The whole point of it is to disrupt and make people uncomfortable.”.........and to make them hate you even more than they already did.

Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon announces DOJ INVESTIGATION into anti-ICE agitators and Don Lemon storming a Minneapolis church and terrifying Christians who were inside worshiping
This could have violated the FACE ACT, per Dhillon
GOOD!
“These people [were] desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshipers.”
Wake me when….well you know the rest.
I’d love to see these idiots try it at the wrong Church(one that may have armed security).
If the KKK did this to a black church, the DOJ would already be all over it.
This should be the same.
LoL. Don lemon telling us what the constitution says. I wonder if he can even spell, constitution?
There are laws against ‘kidnap’
This comes after social media commentators claimed that the church’s pastor, David Easterwood, is the Field Office Director of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the city.
While we can confirm that Easterwood is the ICE Field Office Director in St. Paul, it is unclear if he is the same person who serves as a pastor at Cities Church. For instance.
It’s too cold for Lemon aid on ICE.
1000%.....disappointing the parishioners did not take the situation into their own hands...
Storming a church based on a LIE this is how people get KILLED..reminds me of these idiots storming some restaurant yesterday thinking 3 men having lunch were ICE agents, NO, they were just dudes having a business lunch, heck one of them there isn’t even an ICE supporter but he said after this seeing these idiots do what they did he might change his opinion. Imagine ALL OF THIS because these commie idiots are hell bent on keeping every single criminal illegal in this country for VOTES. Im not at all shocked by Don Lemon’s actions, after all he sexually assaulted numerous men and got away with it
I don't believe a word that comes out of that pastor's mouth.
Pastor: ICE Let Me Free Because I’m White and It Wouldn’t Be “Fun”
.
An agent then “came, got in my face, pointed a gun at me, and said, ‘Are you afraid now?’” Callaghan recalled.
.
After he said he still wasn’t afraid, the officer handcuffed him before putting him into the back of an SUV. “They came back three times and they asked me if I was afraid yet, to which I replied, ‘Hell no, I’m not afraid of you, and I’m never going to be afraid of you.’”
Greg Price nails it!

I’m no historian but I don’t think there’s ever been a situation in the last 100 years where the people storming the churches were the good guys.
No
Every protester in that group, and Don Lemon, should be charged with federal civil rights violations.
I’d be interested in knowing how Don Lemon teamed up with this group and how much of their other activities he is involved with or aware of.
