Minnesota transgender State Rep. Leigh Finke called on leftists to storm more churches in protest of ICE.

Far-left anti-ICE protestors stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday.

Former CNN host Don Lemon livestreamed the crime.

Parishioners and children were terrified as leftists, led by BLM activist Nikema Armstrong shouted down the pastor.

The Justice Department is currently investigating for potential violations of the federal FACE Act.

“The FACE Act is a long-standing federal statute that prohibits force, threats, obstruction, any kind of interference with a religious place of worship. And it carries criminal penalties and violations,” DOJ official Alina Habba said on Monday.

However, Leigh Finke said anti-ICE protestors must continue to storm churches until “ICE is out of our state.”

Full statement from Leigh Finke:

Yesterday protesters disrupted services at Cities Church in Saint Paul, where the leader of the local I.C.E. office also serves as pastor.

The protest has caused outrage, promises of retribution and prosecution, and the usual round of upset. But it has had me thinking for the past 24 hours of the actions of Act Up and WHAM, in 1989, who staged a die in and protest in St Patrick’s Cathedral in New York. An action that similarly brought condemnation during a time when an out of control crisis was left to its destruction for far too long.

Actions like this—nonviolent resistance in the face of government inaction or oppression—are essential. And they must continue until I.C.E. is out of our state, the administration is out of the White House, and dignity and humanity for all of our neighbors is achieved.

Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day in America. Dr. King knew that injustice must be confronted. He knew the moral conscience of the nation must be made to hear the desperate plight of those who are suffering. He knew that the only way to achieve this at national scale was for people to rise up together in nonviolent revolution until all were free.

So did Act UP, and so do the people of Minneapolis. I.C.E. OUT

Oh Hell no! No it didn't

This is just the beginning. These America hating Collectivists will not allow us to enjoy our 250th birthday.

Or any other day for that matter. They hate humanity and themselves as much as their father, the devil, does.

[Texas Eagle]

White churches. These pansies don’t have the balls to storm a black church.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Impeach. Remove. Arrest. Prosecute. Convict. Deport. Repeat.

Andy Ngo in Portland is reporting that an anti-ICE activist shot two Portland police officers tonight. Both officers are in stable condition and the suspect is still at large.

AGAIN, to show who this Minnesota DEMOCRAT GUY is

[plangent]

Offhand, I would say that these “activists” shun the concept of “church” and are at war with those whose faith brings them to church.

Ditto for “family” in the traditional sense of members related by blood and tradition.

All are anathema to the commune mind and the commune masters who would control.

[Texas Eagle]

Wasn’t it in Minneapolis where 2 kindergarteners were killed at a church school? Or was that somewhere else?

[WhiteHatBobby0701]

Race based everything.

[Texas Eagle]

GAH!

[Texas Eagle]

Talk about putting lipstick on a pig.

[DeplorablePaul]

I hope the commies do continue to invade churches. It’s a PR nightmare for them. The more outrageous they become the better. Trump is giving them the rope to hang themselves.

[Ann Archy]

John 15:18-23
New King James Version

The World’s Hatred

18 “If the World hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you.

19 If you were of the World, the World would love its own. Yet because you are not of the World, but I chose you out of the World, therefore the World hates you.

20 Remember the Word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his Master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My Word, they will keep yours also.

21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.

22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

23 He who hates Me hates My Father also.
