A prominent civil rights attorney and at least one other person involved in an anti-immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a service at a Minnesota church have been arrested, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday, just as Vice President JD Vance is set to visit the state. Bondi announced the arrest of Nekima Levy Armstrong in a post on X. On Sunday, protesters entered the Cities Church in St. Paul, where a local official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement serves as a pastor. Bondi later posted on X that a second person had been arrested. The Justice Department quickly opened a civil rights investigation after the group interrupted services by chanting “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good,” referring to the 37-year-old mother of three who was fatally shot by an ICE officer in Minneapolis earlier this month. “Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP,” the attorney general wrote on X. Cities Church belongs to the Southern Baptist Convention and lists one of its pastors as David Easterwood, who leads the local ICE field office. Many Baptist churches have pastors who work at least part-time in other jobs. US & World Minnesota 17 hours ago Renee Good was shot in the head, autopsy commissioned by her family finds Immigration 22 hours ago ICE says its officers can forcibly enter homes during immigration operations without judicial warrant: 2025 memo Immigration Jan 21 Court lifts restrictions on immigration officers' tactics in Minnesota Vance threatens the protesters with prison terms Levy Armstrong, a civil rights attorney and prominent local activist, had called for the pastor affiliated with ICE to resign, saying his dual role poses a “fundamental moral conflict.” “You cannot lead a congregation while directing an agency whose actions have cost lives and inflicted fear in our communities,” she said Tuesday. “When officials protect armed agents, repeatedly refuse meaningful investigation into killings like Renée Good’s, and signal they may pursue peaceful protesters and journalists, that is not justice — it is intimidation.” Prominent leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention have come to the church’s defense, arguing that compassion for migrant families affected by the crackdown cannot justify violating a sacred space during worship. Vance, speaking in Toledo ahead of his Minnesota visit, said the church protesters scared “little kids.” “Those people are going to be sent to prison so long as we have the power to do so. We’re going to do everything we can to enforce the law,” he said. A swift civil rights investigation into the protest but not Good’s death A longtime activist in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, Levy Armstrong has helped lead local protests after the high-profile police-involved killings of Black Americans, including George Floyd, Philando Castile and Jamar Clark. She is a former president of the NAACP’s Minneapolis branch. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem posted a photo on X of Levy Armstrong with her arms behind her back next to a person wearing a badge. Noem said she faces a charge under a statute that bars threatening or intimidating someone exercising a right. FBI Director Kash Patel posted on X that Chauntyll Louisa Allen, the second person Bondi said was arrested, is charged under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which prohibits physically obstructing or using the threat of force to intimidate or interfere with a person seeking reproductive health services or seeking to participate in a service at a house of worship. It’s unclear who Allen’s attorney is. Saint Paul Public Schools, where Allen is a member of the board of education, is aware of her arrest but will not comment on pending legal matters, according to district spokesperson Erica Wacker. The Justice Department’s swift investigation into the church disruption stands in contrast to its decision not to open a civil rights investigation into…

Firefighters in Euless credit a drone for helping them successfully rescue a woman in her 90s during a house fire Thursday morning. The fire in the 1200 block of El Camino Real happened just after 1:00 a.m. Chief Chanc Bennett tells NBC 5 that technology helped dispatch determine the intensity of the fire so firefighters knew just what they were up against. “The drone got here, hovered over the scene before we got here. They sent a video. Dispatch was the first one to see the video, and they were able to tell us that fire was already through the roof, so that we already knew we were going to need extra help,” Bennett said. That information prompted the call for a second alarm to put more firefighters on scene. Bennett says firefighters rescued the woman inside and got her out of the house through a window. There’s no immediate information about her, but Bennett says she was in good condition at the scene.
