AG Pam Bondi says Minnesota woman arrested over disrupting ICE pastor’s church services

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced arrests of three protesters under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act for disrupting a church service and intimidating attendees.

  • On Thursday, federal agents arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong and others after a Jan. 18 protest at Cities Church in St. Paul; federal prosecutors say charges include conspiracy to violate civil rights, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced.
  • Amid heightened tension after Renee Good's fatal shooting earlier this month, protesters targeted Cities Church because its pastor, David Easterwood, also directs the ICE field office.
  • Early this week, federal agents surveilled A Lofts Hotel, entered at 3:00 a.m., and mistakenly arrested the wrong woman before releasing her; Nekima Levy Armstrong said, `I surrendered myself peacefully, deliberately, and with intention.`
  • Transferred to Sherburne County Jail as of Jan. 22, the activists remained in custody while appeals proceed, with supporters cleared from the federal courthouse lobby under a U.S. Marshals Service order.
  • This past week, AP News fact-checked a digitally altered White House photo, with officials like Attorney General Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem publicizing arrests amid national scrutiny.
