"Don Lemon captured anti-ICE protesters storming a church and confronting a pastor who they believed works as an immigration agent during a chaotic scene that sabotaged the church's service on Sunday. Lemon recorded the protesters during a livestream on his YouTube program. The protesters ran into Cities Church in Minneapolis and started screaming and chanting slogans like Hands Up, Don't Shoot! and ICE OUT repeatedly."
"Lemon defended the protesters saying they were simply exercising their Constitutional rights to protest. This is what the First Amendment is about, the freedom to protest, Lemon told viewers. I'm sure people here don't like it, but protests are not comfortable. He noted a moment later that a young man was not comfortable with the loud interruption and was frightened scared [and] crying in the corner."
Anti-ICE protesters entered Cities Church in Minneapolis during a Sunday service, chanting slogans and alleging the pastor worked for ICE. The disruption lasted about 20 minutes and forced many attendees to leave. A livestream of the scene recorded protesters confronting worshippers and prompting angry responses from churchgoers. Protesters asserted their First Amendment right to demonstrate, while at least one young attendee was frightened and cried. Local outlets have not confirmed the claim that the pastor works for ICE. The incident follows a series of Minnesota protests after the shooting death of Renee Good, some involving clashes with ICE.
