A procession of anti-ICE agitators burst into a service at Cities Church in St. Paul, shouting down worshippers and scattering congregants in what should have been a sacred, peaceful hour of worship. Videos and eyewitness accounts show the crowd chanting and confronting parishioners, leaving many shaken and forced to leave the sanctuary. This was not a peaceful outreach — it was an intentional invasion of a house of worship that every American should condemn.
Former CNN host Don Lemon followed the crowd into the church and livestreamed the disruption, repeatedly framing the intrusion as a matter of “freedom to protest” and “journalism.” Lemon’s posture — shadowing and amplifying the mob while defending their tactics — reads less like neutral reporting and more like complicity in a targeted harassment of worshippers. America deserves reporters who document events without abetting lawless, targeted disruption of religious services.
The pastor of Cities Church, visibly upset, denounced the intrusion and pleaded for the agitators to leave so his flock could worship in peace. Church members told reporters they felt violated and frightened, a reaction any decent person should find unsurprising when a crowd storms a sacred space. Religious freedom is not a suggestion; it is a constitutional right that must be protected from these brazen acts.
The Justice Department’s Civil Rights division has announced an investigation into potential violations under federal statutes that protect houses of worship, and officials have made clear that such actions will be taken seriously. If federal law was trampled, those responsible — organizers, instigators and any media collaborators who knowingly aided the disruption — should face the consequences. We cannot have a double standard where protesters get a free pass to terrorize congregations while law-abiding citizens are left to pick up the pieces.
Megyn Kelly’s response was blunt and patriotic: she demanded arrests and called for firm enforcement, insisting that this line of behavior cannot be tolerated and that the perpetrators be taken to task. Her outrage reflects a wider, justified fury among everyday Americans who watch sacred institutions be violated while elites shrug. That anger is not extremist; it is the righteous defense of liberty and order.
Make no mistake — this episode is emblematic of a broader media and activist arrogance that believes it can trample on private citizens and sacred traditions with impunity. The same voices who lecture us about civility are the ones cheering when a mob silences a congregation, and that hypocrisy must be called out loudly. Conservatives will rightly demand transparency, indictments where appropriate, and a return to the basic rule of law.
Protecting houses of worship is not partisan theater; it is foundational to a free society. Law enforcement and federal authorities must act decisively to deter copycat incidents and to reassure Americans that their churches, synagogues and mosques are safe from political intimidation. Hardworking patriots across this country should stand with those worshippers today and demand that the rule of law be applied without fear or favor.
