The scene was half of an ever-escalating warfare against ICE, which has elevated operations in Minneapolis and the encircling areas due to a full lack of cooperation by state and local authorities. Despite largely focusing on unlawful immigrants who have allegedly dedicated heinous crimes, including intercourse crimes against kids, left-wing activists have taken to the streets to impede, impede, and assault federal brokers. 

A church is not the streets, though. It’s a privately-owned home of worship, and activists don’t have a proper to invade and occupy one, no matter how deranged their motivation is. But while Minnesota authorities are unlikely to take any severe motion, the federal authorities is a different story. DOJ civil rights division head Harmeet Dhillon has already said that they are going to use the FACE Act to go after these agitators.

Don’t get me flawed, the FACE Act is rubbish, and has beforehand been used to go after pro-life activists for merely standing exterior abortion clinics, but it’s presently the law. Unless the Supreme Court in the future adjustments that, the Trump administration ought to use all instruments at its disposal. 

That’s what makes protest chief Nekima Levy Armstrong’s transfer after the assault on the church so unbelievable, and not in a great way for her. Instead of sustaining some deniability, she truly posted all the contributors of the assault on Facebook and admitted why they invaded it. 

She just…posted everybody concerned.

And then PINNED it to her profile. Incredible. pic.twitter.com/nukgJ5JZgd

One of those listed is Don Lemon, along with a number of Black Lives Matter organizations, the Racial Justice Network, and quite a few particular person names. It’s principally a confession wrapped neatly with a bow for the DOJ to transfer ahead with. It’s ill-advised, but hey, let her cook. 

You can perceive why these people would act without concern of any penalties and flaunt their alleged crimes. For years, Minnesota has allowed these activists to run amok, violating the law and terrorizing regular people, with the George Floyd riots of 2020 being the most putting instance. Perhaps Armstrong and her cohorts believed they would not be subject to any federal investigation or potential fees. She thought flawed, though. 

The DOJ should not wait for Minnesota officers to keep dithering in the face of these nearly definitely unlawful aggressions. Go after these activists with the full power of the law while there’s still a probability.
