MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A Minnesota activist who was charged for her role in an anti-immigration enforcement protest at a church released her own video of her arrest Friday after the White House posted a manipulated image online.
The White House on Thursday posted a picture on its X page of civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong crying with her hands behind her back as she was escorted by a blurred person wearing a badge. The photo was captioned in all caps: “Arrested far-left agitator Nekima Levy Armstrong for orchestrating church riots in Minnesota.”
A photo posted by Homeland Security secretary Kristi Noem’s account showed the same image with Levy Armstrong wearing a neutral expression.
Levy Armstrong, who was arrested with at least two others Thursday for an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest that disrupted a service at a church where an ICE official also serves as a pastor, released her own video. Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Allen, a St. Paul school board member who was also arrested in connection to the protest, were both released Friday, according to a post by Levy Armstrong’s organization, the Racial Justice Network. Their attorneys declined to comment.
The video shot by Levy Armstrong’s husband, Marques Armstrong, shows several federal agents approaching to arrest her.
“I’m asking you to please treat me with dignity and respect,” she said to the agents.
“We have to put you in handcuffs,” one agent said, while another held up a phone and appeared to record a video.
“Why are you recording?” Levy Armstrong asked. “I would ask that you not record.”
“It’s not going to be on Twitter,” the agent filming said. “It’s not going to be on anything like that.”
“We don’t want to create a false narrative,” the agent said.
At no point in the more than seven-minute video -- which shows Levy Armstrong being...

30 years time served in Club Fed. It’s the only just outcome.
Strange that they didn’t release the entire 7-minute video. We’re supposed to just trust the ASS Press to accurately describe it and to examine the video to see if any part was edited out?
Fair and balanced report. BTW, they want all the body cams, then”I’m asking you not to record”
It is unfortunate that the parishioners didn’t beat the inappropriate a-holes to pulp.
That headline is just criminal.
He Yogi, is it THEM?
I don’t care about fair or balanced reporting. Both ate just code words for bull shit. What I am interested is honest reporting. Which is what we are not getting.
From Ms. RAZA ( Spanish for “RACE”) in an ASSociated Depressed smear article.
Why would the admin alter images if its accurate that they did. Pretty horrible if .gov did do that.
Seriously.
A good curb stomping will straighten you right up
Seriously?
You still haven't learned that everything in the cartoon news is a lie?
Sad.
I believe Hank Williams Jr had a song called “Attitude Adjustment “. All these Minnesota idiots could use a few of them.
They never show the whole thing, do they?
You lost the entire plot of the situation. Noem and crew have totally different version than the WH image. Someone from .gov thought it was cute to play image jockey.
Yep.
Not sure if it’s true(but I hope so) the Blue Line posted that the ICE haters had been alerted to ICE agent activity •inside of biker bars• and angrily showed up with expected results
The Federal Prosecutor can put both images into evidence.
Blue Lives Matter.
My mistake.

STOP what you’re doing - we have a pretty huge update and confession about this whole “Report ICE activity hotline” situation.
By about 1am, we had reports come in from numerous states that there had been “incidents” at a number of biker bars last night. 🇺🇸
It turns out that “report ICE activity hotlines” had received “tips” about “off-duty ICE agents” drinking at dozens of bars. Those bars just so happened to be biker bars owned or frequented by individuals who haven’t always been on the right side of the law.
ICE protestors were alerted and given the addresses of these bars. According to friends of ours across the country, beta soy boy, gender-fluid communist Meal Team Sixers showed up with their “F-ICE” flags and tried barging into the bars.
Except... there were no ICE agents drinking there. As a wise man once said... “now you’s can’t leave”.
To clarify, WE absolutely did NOT report those addresses to the “Report ICE activity hotlines”. That’s ridiculous, guys. What kind of people do you think we are?
Nah. We simply provided the “Report ICE activity hotlines” to the good ole’ boys that DRINK at those bars and asked them if they wanted to have a fun night.
Hey leftists... we’ve been warning you... there would be a time when the people who just wanted to be left alone get off the sidelines.
Keep going, children. We’re in this for the long haul... and we’re really, really good at it.
If you have a phone or fingers to type... you can get in the fight and help protect ICE and law enforcement. Below you’ll find the “report ICE activity” hotlines.
Have fun and blast this thing all over the internet.

After mobbing a church during services she has a lot of gall to ask for dignity and respect.
