ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 9) - Two Twin Cities activists arrested Thursday for an anti-ICE protest at a St. Paul church over the weekend will be released from custody, supporters say.

Federal authorities announced the arrest of three activists on Thursday: Attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong, St. Paul School Board Member Chauntyll Louisa Allen, and activist William Kelly.

Supporters gathered at the St. Paul federal courthouse on Thursday morning as Levy Armstrong and Allen were slated to appear before a judge for a hearing.

We're told supporters planned to pack the courtroom, but a judge only allowed in attorneys due to size constraints.

After the hearing, supporters told FOX 9 that Armstrong and Allen had been granted release by a judge and will be freed from custody later on Thursday.

Which ratings busting leftist news show will get them first?

A stretch limo to carry them from the 5 star hotel to the green room at the studio with the star on the door.

Agreed. Them getting arrested and released is a resume enhancer for the left.

KARE 11’s Lou Raguse spoke to Armstrong’s attorney, Jordan Kushner, who said agents initially arrested the wrong woman at a downtown Minneapolis hotel where Armstrong was staying. Friends claim the woman wrongfully arrested and later released was Chauntyll Allen’s wife.

Is it true that the DOJ wants to arrest Don Lemon, but some judge blocked it ?

A slap on the wrist. This won’t deter anybody. I’d say they should spend 6 months in jail, minimum.
