Hey, everyone. I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. We begin today with breaking news this morning that the FBI and Homeland Security investigations team have made arrests over that outrageous ICE protests. It was terrorism at City's Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday. According to FBI Director Kash Patel, Nakima Levy Armstrong, enjoy prison, and Chantel Allen have been taken into custody for violating the FACE Act. That was really fucking dumb. That was stupid ass behavior. I love that you put it on camera. Thanks for inviting your pal Don Lemon and your BLM pals. I know you're members of it. To put it all on camera, I know you really wanted fame. In fact, you wound up with infamy and some criminal problems.

Who were arrested in connection with the St. Paul church ICE protest and what federal charges do they face?

Megyn Kelly 1:04
So terrific for you. The FACE Act is the federal law that makes it a crime for, quote, whoever by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction intentionally injures, intimidates or interferes with or attempts to do those things with any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship. So it's basically, if you, by physical obstruction or any sort of force or threat of force, interfere with somebody who's trying to pray, you're effed. Okay? We've got video of Armstrong being taken into custody. This photo here was posted by Kristi Noem. Look at her. I'm thrilled. This is a great moment. Let's just sit, shall we, and look at this large, unhappy woman with her hands...
Megyn Kelly 1:57
Yeah, they're handcuffed, right? They're handcuffed behind her back. I love it. Not so fun now, is it, Nakima? Who's the disruptor now? I hope you love the county jail. I can't wait to hear how it goes for you. Look at her. She was so sure of herself. She was so proud of what she was doing to those... Christians minding their own business trying to pray. She's a BLM agitator. She's used to Minneapolis where all you have to do is say George Floyd and they give you a pass, especially if you're a fat black woman. Well, those days are over. Okay, because we have a new sheriff in town. And his name is President Donald Trump, who plans on enforcing federal laws, including the Klan Act and the FACE Act. She's being charged with a felony, conspiracy against rights under the Klan Act, in addition to the FACE Act charges, a felony.
Megyn Kelly 3:05
The Klan Act, you could go to jail for 10 years if you are found guilty under the Klan Act. Yes, BLM, lady. You are being charged under the Klan Act because it's basically conspiracy against rights. If you engage in a conspiracy to violate somebody's civil rights, like their right to worship, you're in a lot of trouble. You've committed a crime. That's what you've been charged with. So, look, it's still going to have to be charged or going to have to be tried in a Minneapolis federal courtroom, which is better than state court for sure. Going to have better prosecutors. And in general, you might have a better jury pool, but not that much better. So she's still got that going for her, that she still gets to get tried there.
Megyn Kelly 3:54
However, Nakima violated the law, and it's really clear. It's really not even ambiguous. I mean, we've got some ambiguity, at least some ambiguity around Don Lemon because he's got, like, the journalism thing. That's wrong. He committed a crime, too. I'm just saying he's at least got another excuse for being there that he could try to use to prey upon the sympathies of a jury. She's got no excuse. None. What was her role? Nikima? Nikima Levy Armstrong? Well, Don Lemon was happy to tell us all at the start of his six-hour live stream on Sunday. Watch.

Speaking to an organization there that's gearing up for resistance and protest, I've been surprised, pleasantly surprised to see the community coming together.

What does the FACE Act and Klan Act criminalize and how might they apply to the church protest?

William Kelly 4:38
Diverse community. If you see this, when we first pulled up, we're like, wait a minute, which operation are we at? And as it turns out, because we were like, well, this is kind of MAGA coded, right?
