Grijalva: Churches Are ‘Open Door’, Protesters Have ‘Right’ to Go In
Breitbart ^ | January 19, 2026 | Ian Hanchett

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

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 Department of Justice has filed more than 15 FACE actions in more than a dozen states since the law’s enactment, demonstrating federal commitment to protecting constitutional rights and public safety at covered facilities.

Maybe ICE should speak to the public from her office building. See what she thinks about it then.

Welcoming all who wish to attend is not the same as being forced to admit somebody who intends disruption. It isn’t public property.

Her husband is a librarian, and libraries are open to the public. Someone should organize a protest inside of his library, and tell him his wife said it was OK because the library has an open door policy.

“””You notice they only do this crap in Blue States as in Red States they would be dead.”””

If you tried this in Minnesota you would be dead. In Occupied Territory of Minneapolistan it is ok according to the Attorney General, mayor and governor.

Churches have always been an open door

Until you are asked to leave. After that you are trespassing, intimidating, and infringing on people’s right to worship which are all crimes.

No,they do not have a “right” to interfere in religious meetings, church services. See: FACE Act! Self explanatory, and this queen of border welfare had better shut the hell up— if she is inciting violation of Federal Law. Yet again!!

"someone that’s supposed to be speaking for the community in church”

I didn't know pastors were supposed to be 'speaking for the community'.

Courts have ruled repeatedly that churches have the right to restrict access and trespass people.

They have the right to go in.

They do not have the right to disrupt the service.

Which is what they did.

I have the right to go to any number of meetings. But if I disrupt them I will be asked to leave and if I refuse I may be trespassed.
