Police in St. Paul, Minnesota, say officers arrested a woman who was 
"disrupting" Easter Sunday services at Cities Church, the site where an 
anti-immigration enforcement protest in January led to federal prosecutors 
charging dozens of demonstrators and some journalists.

Police say several officers were "working contracted overtime" Sunday 
morning at the church, located off Summit Avenue and South Saratoga 
Street, where "a group of protesters" was "using a blow-horn and yelling 
loudly."

Around 8:35 a.m., police say all but one protester complied with officers' 
"numerous announcements" to stop disrupting the service under threat of 
possible citations and arrests.

Police say the woman, who has not been identified, was "arrested by 
officers for interference with religious observance."

Protesters have regularly gathered outside the church during services 
since Jan. 18, when several demonstrators and journalists — including 
former CNN host Don Lemon and Georgia Fort — entered the building during 
Sunday services in protest against one of its pastors, David Easterwood, 
who is the acting field director of ICE's St. Paul office.

Shortly after that protest, Lemon, Fort, local activist Nekima Levy 
Armstrong and several others were arrested and charged by the U.S. 
Department of Justice — then led by Pam Bondi — for allegedly violating 
the FACE Act, which federal prosecutors say outlaws the intimidation or 
interference of people exercising their constitutional freedom to practice 
religion.

Legal experts, however, say the charges will likely be dropped due to the 
lack of precedence for tying the protection of worshippers to the FACE 
Act, which was passed in 1994 to bolster protections for women seeking 
safe access to reproductive health clinics.

November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look 
forward to America being great again.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that 
stupid people won't be offended.

Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.

Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama 
/ Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the 
The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood 
queer liberal democrat donors.
