What is the latest on that front?

Yeah, the White House was already furious with Minnesota lawmakers over their refusal to cooperate with immigration efforts and their refusal to protect ICE agents on the ground from violent agitators.

But things undoubtedly came to a head this past Sunday when that violent mob broke into a church service, harassing parents with their children and getting in the face of the terrified pastor who they accused without evidence of working with ICE.

Now, the DOJ vowed to prosecute those responsible for organizing that disruption.

And on Thursday, they followed through.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the arrest of two individuals who helped organize the mob, including Nikima Armstrong, that's a BLM advisor and former president of the NAACP Minneapolis, and Chantelle Allen, a St.

Paul school board member.

The pair now faces charges related to violating the FACE Act, which bars individuals from interfering with religious services.

A third man, now William Kelly, was also arrested.

He had live-streamed himself breaking into the church at one point telling a churchgoer to, quote, touch me and see what happens.

And on Wednesday, he had this message for the DOJ.

And evidently, Bondi was more than happy to take him up on that offer.

Yeah.

He's now being charged with conspiracy to deprive rights.

That is a federal crime.

Bondi then followed up with a statement of her own, saying on social media, quote, we will protect our pastors.

We will protect our churches.

We will protect Americans of faith.

Now, elsewhere, VP Vance was also on the ground in Minneapolis Thursday, where he met with ICE leaders offering his support from the White House and had this message for those threatening them.

And it's worth noting there is a good chance that the DOJ continues to make even more arrests related to this church case.
