MN Church Stormed by Anti-ICE Agitators Releases Statement Showing Their Actions May Have Consequences – RedState
It was crazy that anti-ICE agitators thought it would be a good idea to storm a church in the middle of its service to promote their hateful anti-ICE agenda. They apparently believed one of the pastors was connected to ICE.
But shouting and disrupting people who are trying to pray is a pretty shameful look; it revealed how crazy and extreme they are to people who might not have understood it before.
Besides being wrong about ICE, if you’re screaming in a church and scaring kids, you’re not the good guys in this equation.
Make no mistake: ICE arrests the worst of the worst illegal alien criminals—gang members, murderers, rapists, and drug dealers—and takes them off our streets. The brave men and women of ICE are true patriots.

Then, on top of that, former CNN media personality Don Lemon, who was there, even attempted to smear the innocent parishioners as “entitled” and linked to “white supremacy” in a later interview, as an apparent justification for the disruption. And he and podcast host Jennifer Welch disparaged their Christianity. It was shameful.

Today, Cities Church in St. Paul released a statement. They took the opportunity to talk about Jesus and explain certain things that the agitators did not seem to understand. I have to tell them that they are taking advantage of the opportunity to put Jesus out, while calling the measures taken against them “shameful”.
Jesus is real. When we gather together on Sunday morning to worship Him, we willingly devote ourselves to that which is most central and sacred in our life together. “We Love Jesus” is the main banner of our church, alongside two other goals that flow from it: to love one another and to seek the good of the Twin Cities.
On Sunday, January 18, a group of agitators disrupted our worship gathering in a shocking way. They approached members of our congregation, frightened the children and created a scene marked by intimidation and threats. Such conduct is shameful, illegal and will not be tolerated. Invading a church service to disrupt the worship of Jesus – or any other act of worship – is not protected by Christian Scripture or the laws of this nation.
We welcome respectful dialogue about today’s issues and how the reality of Jesus, as revealed in the Bible, provides the only final answers to the world’s most complex and intractable problems.
Jesus Christ, the divine Son of God, lived, died and rose again to save all who put their faith in him. It offers a love that transcends cultures, borders, policies and politics. As people who have been loved and helped by Him, we will not shy away from worshiping Jesus, nor will we stop “teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah” (Acts 5:42). Religious buildings are meant to be places of peace and comfort, where worshipers can hear and experience this message. We therefore call on local, state and national leaders to protect this fundamental right.
But this was their last sentence, and it was my favorite part:
We are evaluating next steps with our legal advisor.
Oh yes. Go ahead, guys.
