'There will be charges': Harmeet Dhillon assures Glenn Beck church-stormers will face justice as Minnesota lets chaos reign

https://www.theblaze.com/news/there-will-be-charges-harmeet-dhillon-assures-glenn-beck-church-stormers-will-face-justice-as-minnesota-lets-chaos-reign

Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon criticized Minnesota’s Democrat leadership for failing to enforce state law and arrest protesters who stormed into a local church over the weekend.
...
“We don’t want to prejudge, but I think it is fair to say that I saw multiple federal criminal incidents yesterday, and there will be charges,” she told Beck.

Dhillon explained that as soon as she learned about the situation at Cities Church, she immediately activated prosecutors and sent FBI agents to investigate to determine whether the left-wing radicals had violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act or committed any related criminal offenses, including potential conspiracy charges and material support.

“It’s only a question of when we can get a judge to sign off on arrest warrants and exactly what the charges would be,” Dhillon stated, noting that the federal judges have to be in Minnesota. “This isn’t Texas, and we aren’t getting exactly rapid-fire support for charges there on the pace we would love.”

Trans state rep Leigh Finke calls for agitators to keep storming churches until ICE is out of Minnesota

https://thepostmillennial.com/trans-state-rep-leigh-finke-calls-for-agitators-to-keep-storming-churches-until-ice-is-out-of-minnesota

A trans-identified male Minnesota state representative has come under fire for encouraging anti-ICE agitators to storm churches in the wake of such an action that took place on Sunday in St Paul, Minnesota, with one man filming himself harassing congregants as others interrupted the worship service with chants.

Dem Rep Leigh Finke wrote on Facebook, "Yesterday protesters disrupted services at Cities Church in Saint Paul, where the leader of the local ICE office also serves as pastor. The protest has caused outrage, promises of retribution and prosecution, and the usual round of upset. But it has had me thinking for the past 24 hours of the actions of Act Up and WHAM, in 1989, who staged a die in and protest in St Patrick’s Cathedral in New York. An action that similarly brought condemnation during a time when an out of control crisis was left to its destruction for far too long.

"Actions like this—nonviolent resistance in the face of government inaction or oppression—are essential. And they must continue until ICE is out of our state, the administration is out of the White House, and dignity and humanity for all of our neighbors is achieved," Finke, who was named as one of USA Today’s "Women of the Year" in 2023, continued.

Hopefully, Evangelical churches - theologically liberal churches won't be targets - in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area have security teams with training on handling disruptors.

https://pjmedia.com/tim-o-brien/2026/01/22/feds-arrest-three-accused-ringleaders-of-the-minneapolis-church-invasion-n4948622

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced today that it has arrested a third suspect in in connection with the invasion of church services this past Sunday at Cities Church in St. Paul. It's William Kelly. You may remember him. He’s the anti-ICE agitator who has been challenging Attorney General Pam Bondi and the DOJ to arrest him after taking part in the storming of the Cities Church services.
...
Kelly joins Nekima Levy Armstrong  and Chauntyll Louisa Allen in handcuffs following their roles in leading a militant group into a Baptist church and disrupting services.
...
Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel today announced that the three were arrested under 18 U.S. Code § 241, which is violated when "two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States."

FBI Arrests Left-Wing Activist Who Told AG Pam Bondi to ‘Come and Get Me’ After Invading Minnesota Church Service
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2026/01/22/fbi-arrests-left-wing-activist-who-told-ag-pam-bondi-to-come-and-get-me-after-invading-minnesota-church-service/

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has arrested and charged another left-wing activist involved in the invasion of a St. Paul, Minnesota church service that left parishioners rattled.

William Kelly, known as DaWokeFarmer on TikTok, was arrested by the FBI on Thursday and charged with conspiracy to deprive rights and violating the FACE Act for his role in a January 18 incident where anti-ICE protestors invaded Cities Church during a service.

The protestors, caught on camera, claimed that a top official at Cities Church is an ICE agent. Kelly’s arrest comes after Nekima Levy Armstrong, accused of organizing the church invasion, and Chauntyll Louisa Allen, who took part in the invasion, were similarly arrested by FBI agents.

What an imbecile!

Cities Church Invasion Much Worse Than We Thought

https://hotair.com/david-strom/2026/01/26/cities-church-invasion-much-worse-than-we-thought-n3811207

To the Left, the radicals who invaded Cities Church during services last week are heroes, just as the BLM rioters were celebrated and even kneeled to by Democrats, most famously in the halls of Congress.
...
Yeah, well, no. They are the opposite. They are cruel Black Bloc revolutionaries who are allied with radical Democrats, including officeholders. They are playing an inside game and an outside game, with the goal of intimidating and even harming anybody who stands in their way.
...
There was a not insignificant amount of coverage of the attack on Cities Church, but for some reason, the details of exactly what happened have not come out because they make the Black Bloc tactics look as bad as they really are.
...
The whole attack was horrifying, but the details bring home just how evil the tactics of the attackers really were. Children were targeted specifically, and parents were separated from their younger children who were in Bible study. The children were screamed at and told that their parents were going to hell.

It would be interesting to know what, when, and how much MSM-folk knew in moving on from the church invasion story. They had to know the invaders could not be made to look good, but how bad did the MSM-folk know the invaders are?
