Anti-ICE MN Church Storming Mob Leaders Arrested

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.

WHOA! “Go F*ck Yourself… Rape My Children, You Sick Bastard!” UNHINGED J6 TV Star Michael Fanone Screams at Ivan Raiklin During Jack Smith Committee Hearing – Democrats Cheer as he Exits Hearing Room with Capitol Police (VIDEO) – UPDATE: Fanone FLIPS OFF Lawmakers During Hearing!

Former DC Metropolitan Police Officer and January 6 Hoax TV star Michael Fanone became unhinged at a committee hearing on Capitol Hill, screaming profanities and threatening January 6er Ivan E. Raiklin.

Though it is still unclear what happened, Ivan Raiklin told The Gateway Pundit that he simply stuck his hand out to say hello, and Panone “just completely flipped the switch,” suggesting that he may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Four January 6 police officers are in the crowd at today’s hearing to support Jack Smith’s targeting of President Trump and conservative lawmakers.

Panaone wore a shirt that reads “Fighting Nazis since 1996” to the hearing.

During a brief afternoon recess in Smith’s testimony, the confrontation broke out with Panone screaming, “Go f*ck yourself” and getting in Raiklin’s face. F*cking do something. Do something.” He continued, “Trust me, I’m using a lot of restraint right now,” as a large man held him back and Capitol Police officers approached the situation.

Panone then claimed, “This guy has threatened my family, threatened my children, threatened my–threatened to rape my children! Rape my children, you sick bastard! Rape my children!”

Trump Rages As Jack Smith Accidentally Exposed The Partisan Scam Behind The Jan 6 Probe

Jack Smith’s testimony before Congress did more than expose weaknesses in his own case against President Trump. It also laid bare just how partisan the entire January 6th investigation had become—and how willing Democrats were to elevate sensational claims they knew could never survive real scrutiny.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan zeroed in on one of the January 6th Committee’s most infamous moments: the prime-time hearing on June 28, 2022, built almost entirely around the committee’s star witness, Cassidy Hutchinson. 

Jordan reminded Smith that Hutchinson was “their star witness” in what he described as a “staged and choreographed hearing” produced by a former ABC News president.

She was the only witness that night, and her testimony delivered a Hollywood-ready storyline.

Among Hutchinson’s claims was the outlandish assertion that President Trump “lunged across the back seat, grabbed the steering wheel, tried to drive the car to the Capitol.”

Minnesota leaders subpoenaed in US criminal probe over opposition to immigration crackdown

The US Justice Department (DOJ) on Jan 20 subpoenaed the offices of Minnesota’s governor and attorney-general, and mayors of Minneapolis and St Paul, as it weighed whether their public opposition to US President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement surge in the Twin Cities amounts to a crime.

One of the jury subpoenas, shared with the media by Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, orders his office’s custodian of records to produce documents since the beginning of 2025 related to “cooperation or lack of cooperation with federal immigration authorities”.

The federal grand jury subpoenas were served on six offices of state and local Democrats, according to a Justice Department official, including those of Governor Tim Walz and Attorney-General Keith Ellison.

“Whether it is a public official, whether it is a law enforcement officer, no one is above the law in this state or in this country, and people will be held accountable,” US Attorney-General Pam Bondi said in a Fox News interview after arriving in Minnesota on Jan 16.

“Our men and women in law enforcement deserve to be safe, and that is what we’re going to do in Minnesota,” Ms Bondi added, without explicitly addressing the newly issued subpoenas.

Venezuela calls for ‘symbolic’ social media action after Trump posts altered map on Truth Social

Venezuela’s government on Jan 20 called on citizens to post its official map on social media as a “symbolic action” after US President Donald Trump posted an altered image showing US flags over Venezuela, as well as Canada and Greenland.

The image, posted on Mr Trump’s Truth Social just before 1am Eastern Time (2pm in Singapore), shows an altered version of an August 2025 photo of European leaders in the Oval Office with Mr Trump, with the original map replaced with one showing US flags over Venezuela and much of North America.

The photo includes images of Britain’s Keir Starmer, Italy’s Giorgia Meloni, France’s Emmanuel Macron and EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen – even as Mr Trump himself and other world leaders travelled to Davos for the World Economic Forum.

“In light of this situation, the Venezuelan State calls on all citizens to take symbolic action in unity, with the aim of defending territorial integrity and countering misinformation,” Venezuela’s government said in a statement.

It urged its population to post on social media its official map of Venezuela, which includes Esequibo – some two-thirds of neighbouring Guyana that is claimed by Venezuela, though this is not recognised by any major country or by the UN.

Nick Sortor: Legacy Media is Covering Up Riots in MN, But It Is Even Worse Than That

Independent journalist Nick Sortor described what he characterized as ongoing riots in Minneapolis and accused legacy media of minimizing the severity of the unrest during an exchange with commentator Charlie Hurt, detailing how he was attacked, robbed, and later told by police to leave the area while reporting.

Sortor said the situation in Minneapolis has been volatile from the outset and that media coverage has failed to reflect what he says is happening on the ground.

“It’s been a riot since day one. Charlie,” Sortor said.

“I mean, out here, they’ve been trying to cover it up. The legacy media in particular, they don’t want to show what’s actually going on out here.”

He explained that safety concerns forced him to report from a distance, even with police present nearby.

“I have to do this live shot from several blocks away,” Sortor said.

“You can see the police lights in the distance, but I can’t go over there anymore because I will be attacked even with police fights over there, that is not a protest.”

Minnesota AG Ellison says anti-ICE protesters who stormed church didn’t violate FACE Act

Minnesota Democratic Attorney General Keith Ellison rejects remarks from the Department of Justice that the protesters who stormed a church over the weekend are in violation of the FACE Act.

Over the weekend, a group of anti-ICE protesters stormed St. Paul’s Cities Church during a morning service.

The protesters accused the church’s pastor, David Eastwood, of being the acting ICE field office director in Minnesota.

As a result of the protest, officials at the DOJ said that the protesters may have violated the FACE Act and the Ku Klux Klan Act.

Former CNN host Don Lemon was also at the church storming and he was put “on notice” by the Trump administration.

Ellison went on Lemon’s YouTube show and said the FACE Act is only for reproductive rights.

“And the FACE Act, by the way, is designed to protect the rights of people seeking reproductive rights… so that people for a religious reason cannot just use religion to break into women’s reproductive health centers,” Ellison said, according to Fox News.

Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice, Harmeet Dhillon said on X that a house of worship is not a forum for protest.

Police Use Tear Gas, Stun Grenades Against Farmers Protesting Mercosur Trade Agreement At EU Parliament In Strasbourg

During the farmers’ protest in Strasbourg, ahead of the European Parliament’s vote on the Mercosur trade deal, police used tear gas against demonstrators seeking an appeal to block the agreement.

Officers reportedly were forced to throw stun grenades at the protesters as they tried to enter the parliament building.

“Farmers are trying to get into the European Parliament. The police used tear gas,” wrote MEP Maciej Wąsik of the Law and Justice party (PiS) on social media.

Remix News reported yesterday that around 4,000 farmers from across the European Union, including Italy, Belgium, and Germany, were expected to descend on Strasbourg, with French farmers forming the majority.

CONFIRMED: Indictments Coming for Don Lemon After MN Church Stunt

Legal analyst Mike Davis accused the Biden Justice Department of politicizing and weaponizing federal law to target political opponents while shielding ideological allies, arguing that the same statutes previously used against Christians will now be applied to left-wing activists and media figures who disrupted church services.

Davis made the remarks during an exchange with conservative commentator Benny Johnson, who asked Davis to outline how a case could be built against activists and media figures involved in the recent disruption of a Christian church service.

“Obviously you have been going hard in the paint on this because you have seen how this statute was weaponized by the Biden administration, and the left has absolutely no accountability here,” Johnson said.

“So why don’t we start from the get, and you can build off of what Harmeet said yesterday. How would you build out a case against these BLM terrorists and Don Lemon who stormed this church?”

Davis responded by pointing to what he described as a clear pattern of selective enforcement under the Biden-Harris administration.

“Well, I would use the Biden Justice Department playbook to build this case,” Davis said.

“Remember, under the Biden Justice Department with Attorney General Merrick Garland and Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta and Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Christian Clark, three radicals, Lisa Monaco, the Deputy Attorney General for radicals, they politicized and weaponized the Justice Department to go after their political enemies and to protect their allies.”

Trump Threatens to Invoke Insurrection Act in Minnesota

Governor Tim Walz threatened to command the state National Guard to attack federal agents. “We do not need any further help from the federal government. To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you’ve done enough. I’ve issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard,” Walz said in a press event. “We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary. I remind you, a warning order is a heads-up for folks,” Walz said. “Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight.” Now, Washington is considering invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy US troops to Minnesota.

“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, ” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

We live in a world where states are openly defying the federal government, toying with the idea of separatism, as politics have become too divided for the states to remain united. The 1807 Insurrection Act permits US presidents to unilaterally deploy federal military personnel within the US to restore law and order.
