The moment many of us on the right have been waiting for has finally arrived — and it’s about time.
Federal authorities, acting at the direction of Attorney General Pam Bondi, have arrested the ringleaders of the radical mob that stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, disrupting a Sunday worship service in a disgraceful, politically motivated stunt. U.S. agents from the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations took Nekima Levy Armstrong into custody Thursday, followed by the arrest of Chauntyll Louisa Allen for their central roles in organizing and leading the attack on a house of worship.
Minutes ago at my direction, @HSI_HQ and @FBI agents executed an arrest in Minnesota.
So far, we have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
We will share more updates as they…

Let’s be blunt: the so-called “protest” wasn’t about compassion or accountability — it was a coordinated assault on religious freedom and a brazen attempt to intimidate Christians because of their support for law enforcement and immigration enforcement. It also appears to be in direct violation of a provision of the FACE Act, federal law that makes it illegal to hinder access to abortion clinics but also makes it illegal to harass, intimidate, or interfere with anyone trying to practice their faith.

Armstrong, a local activist with a long record of left-wing advocacy, helped lead a mob that interrupted a service, harangued parishioners and families, and turned a sacred space into a political battlefield. Allen, a school board member, wasn’t just along for the ride — she was one of the organizers, using her position to lend authority to what was nothing more than a mob action.
Bondi didn’t mince words, announcing the arrests with a clear message: “WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP.” And she’s right. The disruption of a Christian congregation under the guise of protest was an affront to basic religious liberty and public order:

Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP.
UPDATE: A second arrest has been made at my direction. Chauntyll Louisa Allen has been taken into custody.
More to come.
WE WILL PROTECT OUR HOUSES OF WORSHIP ??

If Armstrong’s name rings a bell, it’s likely due to her being interviewed by ‘livestreamer’ and disgraced former CNN hack Don Lemon while her group of protesters assembled in the snowy parking lot of Cities Church right before they invaded and took over the building during its Sunday services.
Describing the “clandestine operation” in the works for the Christian gathering, Armstrong told Lemon, “We show up somewhere that’s a key location – they don’t expect us to come there. And then we disrupt business as usual. That’s what we’re about to go do right now.”
?Meet Nekima-Levy Armstrong. The purple lipstick wearing, George Floyd civil rights attorney who hijacked a church service in Minneapolis this morning.
She called it a “Clandestine Operation Pull-Up.”

The arrests by the feds come after left-wing Minnesota ‘Attorney General’ (that’s in quotes because he’s obviously only pretending to be one) Keith Ellison refused to enforce the law and told Lemon that, you know, these Christians, man, they’re just gonna have to “learn to live with” disruptions like this.
Pam Bondi thinks otherwise.
