If the previously unindicted left-wing activists who stormed a church in Minnesota thought they were off the hook, they thought wrong. The Trump administration has dropped a slew of new charges related to the incident, targeting 30 people in total.
According to FBI Director Kash Patel, over 20 arrests were made on Friday.
🚨 Today: 30 more individuals have been indicted under the FACE Act in connection to the January 18 targeting of Cities Church in Minnesota last month.
As of this morning, the FBI executed a joint operation with our @HSI_HQ partners arresting over 20 of these individuals - with additional arrests to come.This makes 39 indictments in the Cities Church case total so far, including the arrest of Don Lemon and multiple alleged leaders of the riot last month.
Let it be known: This FBI will never tolerate anyone who targets, intimidates, or attacks Americans peacefully exercising their right to worship freely. Thank you @AGPamBondi and @TheJusticeDept for your relentless pursuit of this case.— FBI Director Kash Patel (@FBIDirectorKash) February 27, 2026

In mid-January, a group of Anti-ICE activists, many with ties to Minnesota's Black Lives Matter movement, invaded Cities Church in St. Paul, with left-wing "journalist" Don Lemon in tow. Video taken by the ex-CNN host would eventually provide much of the evidence being used, and Lemon himself has been indicted due to his alleged coordination and participation in the attack.

Today, @thejusticedept unsealed an indictment charging 30 more people who took part in the attack on Cities Church in Minnesota.
At my direction, federal agents have already arrested 25 of them, with more to come throughout the day.

That these charges are being made under the FACE Act is somewhat poetic. Under the Biden administration, dozens of pro-life activists were arrested and charged under it, some for simply standing on sidewalks outside abortion mills. The DOJ showed no mercy in sentencing either, requesting long prison stints. Lauren Handy, who was pardoned by now-President Donald Trump in 2025, was sentenced to nearly five years behind bars for a supposed "blockade" of an abortion clinic in 2020.
Well, what goes around comes around. While I'd suggest most Republicans still believe the FACE Act is unconstitutional, it is currently the law. If Democrats are going to weaponize it, there can be no compromises when the shoe is on the other foot, because the only way to stop leftists from taking their deranged activism into churches is to come down hard in this case.
We've heard all the excuses. That this was a "peaceful protest" and that the invaders had a "First Amendment right" to take over a worship service, block exits, and terrify and harass people. That's nonsense, and if you give left-wing activists an inch, they'll take a mile. The only thing they understand is tangible consequences.
Unfortunately, though, I could see liberal judges getting involved here and ensuring some of them go free. While these cases seem like far more open-and-shut than the ones prosecuted under the Biden administration, common sense and evidence don't always matter in our judicial system.

They need to put a stop to this threat. Invading and threating churches is dangerous.
‘Bout time.
Treat them like Jan 6.
The ‘ain’t done Jack’ crowd
Can still Whine and I’ll
Call a Whambulance.
“If the previously unindicted left-wing *agitators*...”
If the wrong Church is invaded, one could get a case of lead poisoning.
Glad to see Stink-Finger Lemon on the new list.
Along with dropping the hammer they should hit them on the head with the Jeremiah Study Bible Large Print Version. Weighs about 9 pounds.
Can't get any lower than those cretins.
I carry spray everywhere just for an occasion like this and I was surprised no one deployed it at the church.
Make Don Lemon the whining face of what happens to people who think they can step all over peoples constitutional rights. I want to see him get several years behind bars.
Lucy and Ethel will be celebrating tomorrow morning with mimosas.
Hot diggity dog! You go, Mr. Trump and don’t stop.
YES
You must be fun at parties. The ringleaders right away; the foot soldiers 40 days after. It took sooooooo long
February 28, 1993, the Feds invaded the Branch Davidian Church. Just saying.
Hey Blondie, is Don in the slammer?
Or would that make society crumble?
ATF tried and failed. FBI then murdered all still inside.
February 28, 1993
never forget
