Overview
- A group entered Cities Church during Sunday worship, chanted anti-ICE slogans, and the service was halted as seen in circulating video.
- Protesters alleged a lead pastor named online as David Easterwood works for ICE, a claim Hindustan Times reports it has not independently verified.
- Don Lemon was present and livestreamed the demonstration, saying he was there as a journalist and defending disruptive protest tactics.
- The action followed continuing outrage over the ICE operation in which Renee Good was fatally shot on Jan. 7, an incident still under investigation.
- Separate footage and accounts showed protesters confronting people they suspected were ICE, with Townhall also reporting that the president readied troops and that Gov. Tim Walz activated the National Guard.
