BREAKING: Pam Bondi Announces Arrests of Anti-ICE Fanatics Who Stormed Minnesota Church

Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed Thursday morning that federal authorities have made arrests following a coordinated disruption of a church service in Minnesota carried out by radical anti-ICE activists.

According to Bondi, the arrests stem from an incident earlier this week in which far-left agitators forced their way into a worship service at Cities Church in St. Paul, openly targeting a Christian congregation.

“Minutes ago at my direction, @HSI_HQ and @FBI agents executed an arrest in Minnesota,” Bondi wrote in a post 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,” she added.

Bondi made clear that the federal government will not allow ideological extremists to intimidate or harass people of faith.

“Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP,” she wrote.

Shortly afterward, Bondi issued an update announcing another arrest connected to the incident.

“UPDATE: A second arrest has been made at my direction,” she wrote. “Chauntyll Louisa Allen has been taken into custody.”

Bondi added, “More to come. WE WILL PROTECT OUR HOUSES OF WORSHIP.”

The disruption occurred earlier this week during a service at the St. Paul church, when a group of anti-ICE activists reportedly entered the sanctuary mid-worship. Multiple individuals were involved in the disturbance, which appeared calculated to provoke and disrupt the congregation.

Reports indicate that several dozen anti-ICE agitators, along with former CNN host Don Lemon, entered the church during the service.

According to Newsweek, David Easterwood—who leads the Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in St. Paul—also serves as a pastor at the church, a fact that reportedly drew the attention of radical activists.

The arrests signal a broader commitment by federal law enforcement to uphold religious liberty, public order, and the rule of law amid escalating political extremism targeting faith communities.
