Yep, my pleasure.

Yeah, Georgia.

So this unfolded during the Sunday morning worship service at Cities Church in St.

Paul, and that's a Southern Baptist congregation.

A group of anti-ICE activists entered the sanctuary mid-service, and they started chanting and shouting accusations and basically demanding that the church members present condemn ICE.

So the protesters accused the church of supporting ICE because one of their staff pastors also happens to be a field director for ICE's St.

Paul office.

But I spoke to the founding pastor of this church and several other people associated with it, and they told me that this is not what you would think of as a culture-warring church.

This isn't the kind of church where the pastors make political statements or join demonstrations or anything like that.

So this was simply because they happened to have an ICE official on staff.

In fact, lead pastor Jonathan Parnell ultimately had to cancel the service once the children who were there watching the sermon started crying.

One source told me that these kids were terrified.

Yeah, Georgia, this does look to be somewhat organized.

Several of these protesters are associated with groups like Black Lives Matter and the Racial Justice Network.

So the same groups who rioted and protested over the death of George Floyd.

In fact, one of the ringleaders, as I reported for The Daily Wire,

is a paid protester who has a history of harassing churches.

William Kelly and his group of activists regularly protest outside Christchurch in D.C.

because War Secretary Pete Hegseth attends there.

For months on end, they have screamed at church members through a bullhorn, doing things like shouting obscenities at church members as they try to enter the sanctuary with their families.
