Minnesota AG Keith Ellison denies Don Lemon, anti-ICE protesters violated FACE Act as DOJ mulls charges
Attorney General Ellison disputes DOJ's claim that protesters violated the FACE Act at Cities Church during a service disruption linked to ICE and Renee Good's killing.
- On Sunday, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison defended anti-ICE protesters at Cities Church in St. Paul, calling their disruption during worship `First Amendment activity`.
- Protests intensified after Jan. 7 when Twin Cities demonstrations surged following Renée Good's killing, and activists targeted the church because they believed pastor David Easterwood was an ICE official named in a lawsuit.
- Roughly three dozen activists entered the sanctuary chanting `Justice for Renee Good` and `ICE out` for roughly 25 minutes, with Don Lemon present and video footage showing children crying and congregants distressed.
- The Department of Justice Civil Rights Division is now reviewing whether to bring charges under the FACE Act and the Ku Klux Klan Act, and Harmeet K. Dhillon said protesters could face prosecution.
- The FACE Act and KKK Act frame the legal debate because the FACE Act protects religious freedom at worship places, yet some criticized DOJ for probing the church incident while not investigating Renee Good's fatal shooting.
