"Civil disobedience is by nature violating the law to bring attention to a cause."
"It's time for judgment to begin and it will begin in the House of God!!!"
"Absolutely, in my view, civil rights law should be invoked when people interfere with the religious freedom of others in their house of worship."
"the devil (no religious pun intended) will be in the details,"
Anti-ICE protesters interrupted a service at Cities Church, a Southern Baptist congregation in St. Paul, where a pastor works for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Three protesters were arrested on federal charges. Legal observers note that disrupting a worship service violates the law and that civil disobedience deliberately breaks laws to draw attention. One protester framed the action in religious terms, invoking judgment beginning in the House of God. Civil rights advocates argue that laws should protect the religious freedom of worshippers, while scholars emphasize the difficulty of crafting protest-free buffer zones and balancing competing First Amendment rights.
