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.

And left-wing journalist Don Lemon could be next.

The former CNN host marched into the church with demonstrators.

He asked hostile questions of the churchgoers and even confronted the pastor on camera.

The DOJ sought charges against him on Thursday, but a magistrate judge refused to sign off on those charges.

DOJ sources told Daily Wire White House reporter Mary Margaret Olihan that Attorney General Bondi was, quote, enraged by that move.

So don't be surprised if the DOJ finds other avenues to try and charge Lemon and others who were involved.

Yeah, hard to see the administration giving up so easy on this, Gavin.
