Minnesota transgender State Rep. Leigh Finke called on leftists to storm more churches in protest of ICE.
Far-left anti-ICE protestors stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday.
Former CNN host Don Lemon livestreamed the crime.
Parishioners and children were terrified as leftists, led by BLM activist Nikema Armstrong shouted down the pastor.
The Justice Department is currently investigating for potential violations of the federal FACE Act.
“The FACE Act is a long-standing federal statute that prohibits force, threats, obstruction, any kind of interference with a religious place of worship. And it carries criminal penalties and violations,” DOJ official Alina Habba said on Monday.
However, Leigh Finke said anti-ICE protestors must continue to storm churches until “ICE is out of our state.”
Full statement from Leigh Finke:
Yesterday protesters disrupted services at Cities Church in Saint Paul, where the leader of the local I.C.E. office also serves as pastor.
The protest has caused outrage, promises of retribution and prosecution, and the usual round of upset. But it has had me thinking for the past 24 hours of the actions of Act Up and WHAM, in 1989, who staged a die in and protest in St Patrick’s Cathedral in New York. An action that similarly brought condemnation during a time when an out of control crisis was left to its destruction for far too long.
Actions like this—nonviolent resistance in the face of government inaction or oppression—are essential. And they must continue until I.C.E. is out of our state, the administration is out of the White House, and dignity and humanity for all of our neighbors is achieved.
Today is Martin Luther King Jr Day in America. Dr. King knew that injustice must be confronted. He knew the moral conscience of the nation must be made to hear the desperate plight of those who are suffering. He knew that the only way to achieve this at national scale was for people to rise up together in nonviolent revolution until all were free.
So did Act UP, and so do the people of Minneapolis. I.C.E. OUT
