Federal authorities have arrested multiple anti-ICE agitators following the disruption of a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday, marking a significant escalation in the federal response to coordinated attacks on places of worship.
Bondi identified Nekima Levy Armstrong, Chauntyll Louisa Allen, and William Kelly as suspects connected to the incident at Cities Church in St. Paul.
The arrests stem from a Sunday incident in which dozens of activists stormed the church during a service, confronting congregants and clergy while the service was underway.
“Minutes ago at my direction, HSI and FBI agents executed an arrest in Minnesota,” Bondi wrote on X.
“So far, we have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.”
Bondi announced a second arrest shortly afterward.
