So, Keith Ellison would defend gay activists disrupting his mosque's Friday services over Muslims killing gays?
Don Lemon sees kids fleeing church: "It is traumatic for the people, and that's what protesting is about"
BREAKING - Minnesota AG Keith Ellison says yesterday’s occupation of a Minneapolis church was “free speech.”
“None of us are immune to the voice of the public.”
You heard him. We can now protest in Somali mosques for stealing our money.
‘They’re Getting Tender About a Church Service’: Minnesota AG Keith Ellison Defends Left-Wing Agitators Who Stormed Minnesota Church
...Ellison insisted Monday that the FACE Act does not apply to the church operation, saying it usually applies to anti-abortion protests outside abortion clinics.
"The FACE Act is designed to protect the rights of people seeking their reproductive rights to be protected and so that people for a religious reason cannot just use religion to break into women's reproductive health centers," Ellison told Lemon.
But Ellison's own record contradicts that claim. As Minnesota attorney general, he submitted a brief in a 2020 federal lawsuit that accused a Minneapolis woman of violating the First Amendment rights of parishioners at Dar Al-Farooq, a mosque outside Minneapolis, by filming them without their permission.
In 2015, as a House member, Ellison urged Obama civil rights chief Vanita Gupta to investigate whether a group of protesters in Phoenix violated the FACE Act by holding firearms during protests outside a Phoenix mosque.
"These demonstrators argue that they are exercising their First Amendment rights. What they fail to understand is that First Amendment rights are not absolute; they are limited to protect the safety and rights of others," wrote Ellison.

MeidasTouch, a left-wing media company, announced Saturday it was cutting ties with Michael Cohen just hours after he claimed prosecutors pressured him to curate his testimony against President Donald Trump.
Cohen, who was Trump’s former personal attorney and “fixer” for over a decade, served as a key witness against the president during both civil and criminal cases from 2023 and 2024. Cohen posted his comments to Substack on Friday, writing it was clear prosecutors “were interested only in testimony from me that would enable them to convict” Trump.
...
“From the time I first began meeting with lawyers from the Manhattan DA’s office and the New York Attorney General’s Office in connection with their investigations of President Trump, and through the trials themselves, I felt pressured and coerced to only provide information and testimony that would satisfy the government’s desire to build the cases against and secure a judgement and convictions against President Trump,” Cohen wrote on his Substack.
“When my testimony was insufficient for a point the prosecution sought to make, prosecutors frequently asked inappropriate leading questions to elicit answers that supported their narrative,” the former Trump lawyer added.
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.
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.”
WASHINGTON (TNND) — Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Monday that over 10,000 illegal migrants have been arrested in the Minneapolis area.
“PEACE AND PUBLIC SAFETY IN MINNEAPOLIS!” Noem wrote on the social media platform, X. “We have arrested over 10,000 criminal illegal aliens who were killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror in Minneapolis because Tim Walz and Jacob Frey refuse to protect their own people and instead protect criminals.”
She said that 3,000 of the illegal migrants arrested are murderers, rapists and pedophiles.
Noem added that massive fraud in Minnesota is also being investigated.
This probably shouldn't come as a surprise from Keith 'Antifa' Ellison. He appeared on CNN yesterday and was asked about whether he had any problems with protesters, including Don Lemon, storming a church and driving everyone off. Ellison did his best to ignore the question and instead rambled on about Trump and ICE. All he would say about the behavior of the protesters was that it looked like "First Amendment activity" to him.
Jonathan Turley has a column up today stating that Ellison is simply wrong on the law.QuoteOne would think that a mob action against a church would be something that would transcend political divisions as a grotesque and chilling act. If you thought that, you do not know Keith Ellison.
Notably, in the CNN interview, Host Erin Burnett raised the incident due to its “bad optics” as opposed to the outrageous attack on a house of faith. Yet, Ellison was not even willing to take that lead in objecting to the simple optics as opposed to the denial of religious exercise. He insisted that this is “a First Amendment activity” and not a crime.
He is wrong. Protesting outside of the church is a First Amendment activity. Disrupting church services and abusing congregants inside the church is conduct, not speech.
