"Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (D) condemned President Donald Trump and the Department of Justice on Thursday after the arrest of two community organizers behind a controversial church protest. This is a gross abuse of power. The federal government is picking and choosing who to investigate going after protestors and not the person who shot and killed one of our neighbors. I am calling for Nekima to be released immediately."
"A judge reportedly refused to sign a complaint bringing charges against Lemon, who continues to insist he was not aware of the specific plans of the protesters. Don Lemon, who's a loser, lightweight. I saw him, the way he walked in that church. It was terrible. I have such respect for that pastor. He was so calm. He was so nice. He was just accosted. What they did in that church was horrible yesterday, Trump said at a White House briefing."
Federal authorities announced arrests of Chauntyll Louisa Allen and Nekima Levy Armstrong in connection with a protest at Cities Church in St. Paul that was widely circulated on video. Attorney General Pam Bondi declared, "WE WILL PROTECT OUR HOUSES OF WORSHIP," while Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called the arrests a "gross abuse of power" and demanded Levy Armstrong's immediate release. Former CNN host Don Lemon was filmed at the service; a judge reportedly refused to sign a complaint against him and he denies prior knowledge of protest plans. The incident occurred amid larger Minnesota protests after an ICE agent shot and killed a 37-year-old mother.
