Nekima Levy Armstrong, leader of the Racial Justice Network and a former president of the Minneapolis chapter of the NAACP, was arrested for leading a group of agitators into a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota. The incursion on church-goers during Sunday Services was an organized, coordinated attack, according to Pam Bondi of the Department of Homeland Security. She also indicated that attacks on places of worship will not be tolerated. Chauntyll Louisa Allen has also been arrested; a St. Paul school board member and leader of Black Lives Matter Twin Cities. The invasion of the church by anti-ICE agitators consisted of between 30 and 40 agitators, shouting “Justice for Renee Good!” as they stormed around church attendees. In videos of the incident, as the pastor attempts to tell them to leave, the agitators chanted, “Who shut this down? We shut this down!”
Constitutionally, while the activists claim they were exercising their First Amendment Rights of Freedom of Speech, the Constitution in that amendment also enumerates the Freedom of Religion. A right stops being a right when it interferes with another right – like the right to swing one’s arms stops at the tip of another’s nose, or the right to go through an intersection stops at the edge of another’s bumper.
Armstrong states she does not regret her actions. “We are unapologetic about going into the church,” Armstrong told Democracy Now. They attacked the church based on the belief that the pastor works with ICE, calling it a “conflict of interest.” While in the church they accused any support for ICE “un-Christian” of the church goers.
Not only are the perpetrators of the church attack not sorry for what they did, but according to the Daily Signal, anti-ICE protestors do not condemn the action. Indivisible Twin Cities is one of the groups behind the organization of the street protests, and have encouraged “ICE Watch” groups who monitor and track ICE agents with the aim to not only disrupt ICE activities, but to prohibit ICE agents from conducting their operations.
A group called “Defend the 612” also organizes “ICE Watch” activities, and hosts a “de-arrest primer” encouraging activists to physically prevent law enforcement from carrying out arrests. The group also encourages stalking ICE while honking and blowing on whistles when they are sighted, with the aim to create “traffic jams and slowdowns.”
Other groups involved are Unidos MN, The Party for Socialism and Liberation, and Democratic Socialists of America, all communist and all anti-Christian.
Minnesota political support of the anti-ICE activists includes Minneapolis’ district attorney office, the mayor’s office, and Governor Tim Walz. Jamael Lundy, the intergovernmental affairs coordinator for the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office posted on Facebook that the church invasion was a case of “good trouble,” adding, “When Minnesotans say we want ICE out, we mean it, right?” Lundy is running to represent District 65 in the Minnesota Senate, and posed with the church invaders, including disgraced journalist Don Lemon who live-streamed the invasion of the church, after their invasion of the church. Lundy serves as a liaison between Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty and the state legislature, and Moriarty’s campaign has received more than $500,000 from political groups funded by anti-Christian George Soros.
The Department of Justice is investigating the incident and has suggested that the FACE Act, a law passed to attack Christians for their peaceful protests outside of abortion clinics, applies to the case of the anti-ICE agitators entering the church in St. Paul. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison disagrees, defending the church invasion and calling any prosecution against the activists “a stretch.” Ellison stated, in defense of the agitators, “Chanting cannot be a crime; it’s freedom of expression.”
Again, a right stops being a right when it collides with another right.
The DOJ has also suggested using the KKK Act, which addresses when the threat of force or violence is used to deny a person or group of their human rights and/or civil rights.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard condemned the anti-ICE protestors, calling the disruption of a church service, “demonic.”
Gabbard said, “One of the main reasons I left the Democrat Party was because of their hostility towards God and those who have faith in or are trying to cultivate their love for God. Those so-called ‘protestors’ who tried to intimidate and terrorize innocent women, children, and men in the Minneapolis church is just another example of their hostility towards God and His worshippers. Such behavior is demonic and should be condemned by everyone, and those who took part in such intimidation tactics should be held accountable.”
The violent activities in Minneapolis are being encouraged by ICE Watch posts using language like, “by any means necessary,” urging their supporters to “embrace militancy.” Shortly after that language went out, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz also encouraged residents to “resist ICE,” and accused the Trump Administration’s agents of carrying out a “campaign of organized brutality.” These calls for violence come as activists use their vehicles as weapons, and one agent was attacked by three illegal aliens, once with a shovel and the other with a broomstick.
The ICE Watch guide given to agitators uses language like “fascist,” “Zionist enemies,” and instructs activists that the goal is, “keeping our eyes on the enemy and knowing their movements…surrounding police cars to dearrest our comrades…communication about our opponents’ movements.”
At one point, also, Anti-Islam activist and Jan. 6 prisoner Jake Lang was attacked and stabbed during a protest in Minneapolis, receiving repeated blows to his neck and the back of his head while another threw an unknown liquid on Lang and the crowd, and was seen bloodied when he finally broke free from the crowd. He was again mobbed at his vehicle as it was surrounded to prevent him from leaving. One attacker attempted to open the door to possibly drag Lang from the vehicle in a Reginald Denny fashion. Lang later posted that his body armor blocked the stabbings.
Don’t forget that the ICE Protests are not only happening in Minneapolis. The blood-thirsty raging violence has been appearing in nearly two dozen states.
How is it that Americans are willing to go to such demonic extremes? Is it possible this goes deeper than mere politics? Is it possible that the Cultural Marxism trying to transform our country is more than just the moves of a communist infiltration. Could the infiltration be something greater? Perhaps, demonic? Is it possible that this is not just politics, but a raging case of spiritual warfare?
As the revelations unfold, I don’t believe I will be alone in my thoughts about this for very long.
