DOJ Investigates Disruption at Minneapolis Church Service

The Justice Department is investigating a protest by anti-ICE activists that disrupted a service at Cities Church in Minneapolis, where Pastor David Easterwood serves as an ICE official. The protest, captured on video, featured demonstrators criticizing Easterwood’s dual role, although he was not present at the time. U.S. officials are looking into potential violations of the federal FACE Act related to the protest. ICE has attributed blame for the incident to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, who responded that peaceful protest is a right but should not interrupt worship services.
