Trump administration officials announced on Jan. 22 that federal agents had arrested several suspects who allegedly organized a protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The first suspect arrested was Nekima Levy Armstrong, who was apprehended during a morning operation by FBI agents and ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) division.

She is being charged with a felony for alleged conspiracy to violate someone's constitutional or legal rights, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

Attorney General Pam Bondi <a href="https://x.com/AGPamBondi/status/2014344323706302566">wrote</a> on social media that Armstrong “allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.”

"Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP," Bondi wrote.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also shared news of the event, including a picture of Armstrong in the custody of an HSI special agent.

"Religious freedom is the bedrock of the United States—there is no First Amendment right to obstruct someone from practicing their religion," Noem <a href="https://x.com/Sec_Noem/status/2014357826081071513">wrote</a> on social media.

Bondi also <a href="https://x.com/AGPamBondi/status/2014349963132543319?s=20">announced</a> the arrest of an additional suspect in the case, Chauntyll Louisa Allen. The Department of Homeland Security later shared <a href="https://x.com/DHSgov/status/2014386353312551067/video/2">footage</a> of the woman in HSI custody, noting that she had been charged with a “conspiracy to deprive rights,” the same charges against Armstrong.

FBI Director Kash Patel later <a href="https://x.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/2014400614491451440?s=20">announced</a> the arrest of a third suspect, William Kelly. Patel also <a href="https://x.com/FBIDirectorKash/status/2014358587900878862">announced</a> that the second arrestee, Allen, had been charged with a <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/103rd-congress/senate-bill/636">violation</a> of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which in addition to criminalizing the blocking of entrances to abortion clinics also applies to preventing the exercise of freedom of religion at places of worship.

On Jan. 18, protesters entered the Cities Church during a worship service and began to chant slogans opposing ICE’s removal operations against foreign nationals and suspected illegal immigrants.

“They accosted members of our congregation, frightened children, and created a scene marked by intimidation and threat,” the church <a href="https://www.citieschurch.com/journal/a-response-to-the-disruption-of-our-january-18-worship-service">wrote</a> in a statement on its website about the incident.

“Church buildings are meant to be places of peace and solace, where worshipers can hear and live out this message," the church stated. "We therefore call on local, state, and national leaders to protect this fundamental right. We are evaluating next steps with our legal counsel."

Since Dec. 1, ICE and federal law enforcement officers of other agencies have been deployed in large numbers to the Twin Cities area of Minneapolis and St. Paul for “Operation Metro Surge.” The operation has been opposed by the state of Minnesota and both cities, which have <a href="https://www.ag.state.mn.us/Office/Communications/2026/docs/00190_DHS_Complaint.pdf">sued</a> Noem in federal court to block it.

The protests against ICE have grown in <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/tens-of-thousands-join-protests-in-minneapolis-after-ice-shooting-5969152">intensity</a> after Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by ICE officer Jonathan Ross on Jan. 7 after Good drove her vehicle toward the officer. The Trump administration has defended Ross’s actions as self-defense and said the officer was struck by the vehicle, while progressive groups and Democratic officials have criticized the shooting.
