DOJ vows to press charges after activists disrupt church where Minnesota ICE official is a pastor
The U.S. Department of Justice said Sunday it is investigating a group of protesters in Minnesota who disrupted services at a church where a local official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement apparently serves as a pastor.
A livestreamed video posted on the Facebook page of Black Lives Matter Minnesota, one of the protest’s organizers, shows a group of people interrupting services at the Cities Church in St. Paul by chanting “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good.” The 37-year-old mother of three was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this month amid a surge in federal immigration enforcement activities.
The protesters allege that one of the church’s pastors — David Easterwood — also leads the local ICE field office overseeing the operations that have involved violent tactics and illegal arrests.
U.S. Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said her agency is investigating federal civil rights violations “by these people desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshippers.”
“A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest! It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws!” she said on social media.
Attorney General Pam Bondi also weighed in on social media, saying that any violations of federal law would be prosecuted.
Nekima Levy Armstrong, who participated in the protest and leads the local grassroots civil rights organization Racial Justice Network, dismissed the potential DOJ investigation as a sham and a distraction from federal agents’ actions in Minneapolis-St. Paul.
“When you think about the federal government unleashing barbaric ICE agents upon our community and all the harm that they have caused, to have someone serving as a pastor who oversees these ICE agents, is almost unfathomable to me,” said Armstrong, who added she is an ordained reverend. “If people are more concerned about someone coming to a church on a Sunday and disrupting business as usual than they are about the atrocities that we are experiencing in our community, then they need to check their theology and the need to check their hearts.”
The website of St. Paul-based Cities Church lists David Easterwood as a pastor, and his personal information appears to match that of the David Easterwood identified in court filings as the acting director of the ICE St. Paul field office. Easterwood appeared alongside DHS Secretary Kristi Noem at a Minneapolis press conference last October.
Cities Church did not respond to a phone call or emailed request for comment Sunday evening, and Easterwood’s personal contact information could not immediately be located.
Easterwood did not lead the part of the service that was livestreamed, and it was unclear if he was present at the church Sunday.
In a Jan. 5 court filing, Easterwood defended ICE’s tactics in Minnesota such as swapping license plates and spraying protesters with chemical irritants. He wrote that federal agents were experiencing increased threats and aggression and crowd control devices like flash-bang grenades were important to protect against violent attacks. He testified that he was unaware of agents “knowingly targeting or retaliating against peaceful protesters or legal observers with less lethal munitions and/or crowd control devices.”
“Agitators aren’t just targeting our officers. Now they’re targeting churches, too,” the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency stated. “They’re going from hotel to hotel, church to church, hunting for federal law enforcement who are risking their lives to protect Americans.”
Black Lives Matter Minnesota co-founder Monique Cullars-Doty said that the DOJ’s prosecution was misguided.
“If you got a head — a leader in a church — that is leading and orchestrating ICE raids, my God, what has the world come to?” Cullars-Doty said. “We can’t sit back idly and watch people go and be led astray.
I oppose ICE and I’m not religious, but this isn’t protected or responsible conduct. You can disagree with ICE’s tactics and still recognize this crossed a legal line. Even if a pastor also holds an ICE leadership role, a church service is not a public forum. The First Amendment does not authorize disrupting private worship, and federal law, including the FACE Act, exists to prevent intentional interference with religious services. Protest ICE outside, sue ICE, expose ICE. But storming a sanctuary mid-service isn’t civil rights advocacy; it’s legally indefensible and strategically self-defeating.
A lot of people who are complaining about this are the same people who saw no problem with requiring people carry and show, upon request, proof of COVID vaccination in order to shop, dine, go to a movie or whatever. To be clear, both are wrong. I will not comply.

You do realize that that the people in this country illegally are overwhelmingly "brown"? What exactly is "brown" anyway? I love how the left is so totally obsessed with skin color that they have to make one up to fit whatever narrative they're selling.
I've been asked more than once if I'm worried about ICE showing up and going after my wife. I just laugh because my wife worked for the D.A. for eight years then was a judge's assistance for 22. She knows every judge, lawyer and cop in this town. (Not to mention she was born in Texas.) Throw in the fact that she's married to a well-armed, ill-tempered Scots-Irishman and I'm pretty sure she is perfectly safe.
as we’ve seen, this should say “criminal”And away we go...

Why in the world would a country apportion their representation (meaning voting) based on numbers that include people who are not citizens and cannot legally vote. It's like announcing to your friends you're going on a taco bell run and then being expected to take orders from "friends" that don't have any money to pay with. What's the point? I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count.

They simply don't care. If it's clearly constitutional, why be so secretive? Rights don't mean a thing to MAGA and Trump's police force, especially if you don't look like what they consider to be an American.it’ll be fun watching people defend and hand wave this away

As for the issue of color, Trump's Supreme Court said people can be stopped on the basis of race/language alone, so it can hardly be a surprise that overzealous and poorly trained officers decide it's ok to apprehend people who just don't appear white enough or happen to speak with an accent.
