Anti-ICE Activist Arrested Following Disruption of Church Service in Minnesota
In a significant development, federal authorities apprehended an activist opposed to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement after a group stormed a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the arrest on Thursday, revealing the suspect’s identity as Nekima Levy Armstrong.
Armstrong faces charges relating to violations of the FACE Act, a federal law designed to protect the right to exercise religion freely in places of worship. FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed that the charges stem from her alleged involvement in orchestrating the aggressive intrusion into Cities Church.
Bondi shared the news of the arrest on the social media platform X, stating, “Minutes ago at my direction, HSI and FBI agents executed an arrest in Minnesota. 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 emphasized the government’s stance, saying, “WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP.” Further updates are expected as the investigation continues.
