""A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest! It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws!""
""When you think about the federal government unleashing barbaric ICE agents upon our community and all the harm that they have caused, to have someone serving as a pastor who oversees these ICE agents, is almost unfathomable to me,""
""ICE out" and "Justice for Renee Good.""
Federal authorities are investigating protesters who disrupted services at Cities Church in St. Paul where a local ICE official apparently serves as a pastor. A livestream posted by Black Lives Matter Minnesota shows chants of "ICE out" and "Justice for Renee Good." Renee Good, 37, a mother of three, was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis amid intensified federal immigration enforcement. Protesters allege pastor David Easterwood leads the local ICE field office overseeing violent tactics and illegal arrests. DOJ Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon described the actions as desecrating a house of worship and announced a civil rights probe. State Attorney General Pam Bondi said potential violations of federal law would be prosecuted. Nekima Levy Armstrong called the investigation a sham, criticized federal enforcement and the pastor's role, and is an ordained reverend.
