30 more charged in anti-ICE protest at Minnesota church, DOJ says
USA TODAY
Thirty more people have been charged in connection with an anti-ICE protest that interrupted a Sunday service at a Minnesota church in January.
Thirty more people who Department of Justice officials said interrupted a Sunday service at a Minnesota church have been indicted on criminal charges in connection to the incident, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Feb. 27.
"Today, @thejusticedept unsealed an indictment charging 30 more people who took part in the attack," Bondi said in in a post on X.
Several other people, including two journalists, were previously arrested in connection with the Jan. 18 demonstration at Cities Church in St. Paul.
A group of protesters entered the church, alleging that Pastor David Easterwood works as the acting director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement's St. Paul Field Office. The protest took place in the wake of the fatal shooting of Renee Good, a 37-year-old American woman killed by a federal immigration officer on Jan. 7 in Minneapolis.
Federal agents have arrested 25 of those named in the newly unsealed indictment, "with more to come throughout the day," Bondi said.
