The protesters targeted the church because an assistant pastor, david Easterwood, leads a local ICE field office, though he was not overseeing that service. Video and social posts show Kelly confronting congregants, using profanity and calling them &#8220;fake Christians&#8221; while criticizing their response to immigrant communities; he posted a TikTok shortly before his arrest saying his lawyers saw no case and denouncing use of the FACE Act. Federal officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi noem and Assistant Attorney general for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, said charges will be pursued-reports cite possible use of the FACE Act (which protects worshipers&#8217; religious\u2011freedom rights) and the Ku Klux Klan Act, and Kelly has been described as charged with conspiracy to deprive rights.
