Protesters chanted against ICE and for &#8220;Justice for Renee Good&#8221; while confronting the church; the assistant pastor, David Easterwood, is a local ICE field director but was reportedly not overseeing that service. Cities Church pastor Jonathan Parnell condemned the interruption as shameful,while former CNN host Don Lemon defended protesters&#8217; free\u2011speech rights. the White House press secretary and Attorney General Pamela bondi publicly denounced the incident and the Justice Department opened an investigation. Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon said federal charges are likely, citing the FACE Act and the Ku Klux Klan Act as possible legal bases for prosecution.The article argues that disrupting a religious service is not protected by the First Amendment and notes that Armstrong&#8217;s public posting of names could aid authorities.  <\/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><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Nekima Levy Armstrong &mdash; an alleged organizer of an invasion of a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations &mdash; did some of the Trump Justice Department&rsquo;s work for them by posting the names of those involved in the incident on social media.<\/p>\n<p>Video of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/disturbing-content-video-mn-church-attack-spreads-christians-berated-not-bowing-leftism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">protest<\/a> that Armstrong posted Sunday to her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nekimalevyarmstrong\/posts\/pfbid0c3mvA2mRUpZrdq6tvqVdTan1kKpEgyYJJTfmHMokGkE8YD5zkXJ1hYEsxoeurBWdl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">page<\/a> showed a group of people disrupting a worship service at Cities Church in St. Paul, chanting &ldquo;ICE out&rdquo; and &ldquo;Justice for Renee Good.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Armstrong leads the local grassroots <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sidney-powell-is-an-american-legal-giant\/\" title=\"Sidney Powell Is an American Legal Giant\">civil rights<\/a> organization Racial Justice Network, according to<a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/wireStory\/doj-vows-press-charges-after-activists-disrupt-church-129338647\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> ABC News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In a caption to her post, she wrote, &ldquo;Friends, Here is a clip of our demonstration this morning at Cities Church in St. Paul.
