FBI Arrests Far-Left Activists Who Stormed Minnesota Church

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday announced that two far-left activists – one of whom played a ‘key role’ in the storming of a Minnesota church – have been arrested. 

“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,” Bondi posted on X, adding “WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP.”

Roughly 30 minutes later, Bondi announced a second arrest had been made, with Chauntyll Louisa Allen having been taken into custody. Allen is a board member for Saint Paul Public Schools. 

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

Armstrong, former president of the NAACP in Minneapolis, helped lead a group that poured into the Cities Church in St. Paul before chanting “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good,” because one of the church’s pastors, David Easterwood, heads up the local ICE field office. 

Armstrong posted a video of the protest, which she referred to as “our demonstration,” which showed dozens of agitators storming the church. In the post, she wrote “It’s time for judgment to begin and it will begin in the House of God!”

Following the incident, washed up propagandist Don Lemon tried to lecture a pastor, suggesting that the storming was constitutional.

Armstrong, a former law professor who’s now a full time activist, has been a key organizer in boycotts against Target for scaling back DEI programs. 

Meet Nekima Levy Armstrong…

She led the group of Marxists that stormed the Church with Don Lemon.

She is a community agitator tied to Leftist orgs.

She made $170,000 at a 501(c)(3) called The Wayfinder Foundation.

Of course…
