The Democrat insurrection that has captured the entire state of Minnesota and threatens to spread nationwide continues apace, as an anti-ICE mob stormed Cities Church in Minneapolis on Sunday and accused the pastor of being a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.
In a live YouTube video recorded by former CNN loser Don Lemon, protesters were seen occupying the church and chanting, “Hands up, Don’t shoot,” and “ICE out.” Jonathan Parnell, the lead pastor (pictured above being harassed by Lemon), described the protest as “unacceptable,” which is putting it mildly, adding that it is “shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship.” Shameful indeed, as well as unlawful and unconstitutional (a case the Department of Justice is already preparing to prosecute), but Lemon claimed First Amendment protection and argued that a “protest” should “make people uncomfortable” – by which he means white children should feel terrorized.
D.C.-based agitator William Kelly, who participated in the church invasion and who appears to be white himself, declared in a video that he was proud of his “actions in that white supremacist church” full of “rich white people.” He dared Attorney General Pam Bondi to come after him: “Come and get me, Pam Bondi, you fucking traitorous bitch. All power to the people!”
Joe Rigney, Fellow of Theology at New Saint Andrews College, who tweeted that he helped create that very church, denounced the invasion:
I served as a pastor there for 8 years. This is a normal Baptist Church. They worship Jesus. They love each other. They seek the good of their neighbors. And the Left hates them and wants to shut them down, because one of their pastors serves his country in law enforcement, putting his life on the line to remove rapists and violent criminal illegal immigrants from our streets.
Rigney continued, confirming what I’ve been writing for years: “The Democrats are the party of lawlessness, of cultural decay, social disorder, and death.” Exactly so. They are violent revolutionaries waging a race war and an insurrection against the United States, and Don Lemon is as much a part of it as were the Al Jazeera “journalists” embedded with Hamas on October 7, 2023.
After the DoJ launched an investigation into the terror incident, Lemon tried to distance himself from responsibility by blaming the organizer of the mob, a self-proclaimed civil rights lawyer named Nekima Armstrong. He uploaded a video in which he claimed he was simply engaging in “an act of journalism.” He said, “Why don’t you talk to the actual person who is in charge of the organization and whose idea it was to have the protests at the church before you start blaming me for stuff?”
Yeah, about that – below is a photo of Don Lemon giving the organizer of the “protest” a kiss on the cheek prior to interviewing her:
This is Don Lemon giving the organizer of the event a kiss on the cheek before interviewing her. He was totally in on it. He intentionally made sure not to disclose any details of the operation so people wouldn’t get tipped off. https://t.co/IdaeFU0F3n pic.twitter.com/o0wZHnSLHZ

Lemon subsequently appeared on the podcast of white liberal hate-monger Jennifer Welch, whom I have profiled here, to call the churchgoers “entitled white supremacists” who don’t practice “the kind of Christianity I do.” Apparently the kind of Christianity he practices is the kind that harasses innocent white fellow Christians at worship. He whined that he had become the face of the protest only because he is “a gay black man in America.”

Oh, please. This will no doubt trigger you, Don, because your entire identity is wrapped up in intersectional victimhood, but literally nobody in America cares that you’re black and/or gay. The white supremacy you feel the need to keep hyping for your dwindling audience is one of your own manufacture. You are a racist, cowardly, perpetual grievance machine because without that you are nothing but a gay black man. The reason you became the face of the mob is that you embedded yourself with them, encouraged them, and supported their terror tactics, and now you want to claim you were there out of journalistic objectivity – something you made a career out of ignoring.
As for the DoJ investigation into the storming of the church, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon posted to X on Sunday evening, “The @CivilRights is investigating the potential violations of the federal FACE Act by these people desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshippers.”
Breitbart News explains that the FACE Act is a 1994 law that “prohibits the use or threat of force and physical obstruction that injures, intimidates, or interferes with a person seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health services or to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship.” The act was written to protect abortion clinics, pro-life pregnancy resource centers, and churches.
“We will pursue charges in this case,” Dhillon said during an interview on The Benny Show. “I see various crimes that have occurred — exactly what they are, I’m not going to flag, but the FACE Act has been mentioned as one of the predicates there. In other cases, the Biden, DOJ used the Klan Act conspiracy charges tacked onto the FACE Act in the case of protests outside abortion clinics to bring much longer sentences.”
She continued, “So there are a number of tools available to us. Who funded this? What other crimes may have occurred? Was there a use of the wires or the mail in preparing for this event? Did anyone cross state lines to do this? All of those are potential predicates for additional federal charges.”
Dhillon added that the DoJ is looking at charging Lemon for his involvement in the incident. “So some of these folks who did this have self-identified. Don Lemon himself has come out and said he knew exactly what was going to happen inside that facility. He went into the facility and then he began ‘committing journalism’ — as if that’s sort of a shield from being an embedded part of a criminal conspiracy. It isn’t,” Dhillon told Johnson.
“We’re getting our ducks in a row. We’re putting the facts together, and this is a very serious matter,” Dhillon continued:
Come next Sunday, nobody should think in the United States that they’re going to be able to get away with this. Everyone in the protest community needs to know that the fullest force of the federal government is going to come down and prevent this from happening and put people away for a long, long time.
One can only hope. The Trump administration is big on threatening to hold Leftists accountable for many things, but so far hasn’t jailed a single Democrat leader or media propagandist, and precious few domestic terrorists such as Antifa thugs. It’s very unlikely that instigator Don Lemon will suffer any consequences for “the kind of Christianity” he does.
But one way or another, these lawless, domestic terrorists and their media cheerleaders must be brought to heel immediately and feel the full weight of consequences for waging insurrection.
