Protesters say they targeted the church as a pastor may also be an ICE field director, though local reporting could not confirm the identity. The Department of Justice has opened a civil-rights inquiry, and former Attorney General Pam Bondi pledged federal enforcement. Social media users widely condemned the disruption, and the piece frames the incident as part of wider unrest and alleged leniency toward left\u2011wing demonstrators, criticizing Minnesota democratic leaders and linking the episode to other regional controversies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>They stormed a church &mdash; and damned their own cause.<\/p>\n<p>Viral videos rocketing through social media show the moments dozens of left-wing activists <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-unhinged-don-lemon-chases-elderly-christian-snow-church-attack-done\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">disrupted a service<\/a> Sunday at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.<\/p>\n<p>But the backlash is building.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Here&rsquo;s what happened inside Cities Church today.
