Kristi Noem Promises Arrests ‘In The Next Several Hours’ Over Church Stormed By Anti-ICE Activists

Arrests are coming soon in the investigation into an anti-ICE mob that crashed a Sunday morning service at Cities Church in St. Paul, according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

Noem appeared on Newsmax on Tuesday evening and said that arrests would begin “in the next several hours.” The secretary also said that ex-CNN host turned YouTuber Don Lemon could face charges for his involvement in the church protest as well.

“There will be arrests tied to that, and people will be brought to justice for how they violated the law in that situation,” said Noem.

Noem suggested that Lemon’s claim to have only been a bystander and journalist during the incident at Cities Church is belied by the foreknowledge he had of the demonstration and relationships has with activists involved.

“The fact that ahead of time, before this even happened, he said that he had conducted some surveillance before they went into this church, he identified individuals that were going in with him that were activists in the work that they had done in the past, the fact that this entire situation was then posted on the Black Lives Matter website, all of that is something that they’re going to be responsible for,” said Noem.

Arrests coming.

This weekend an anti-ICE mob targeted a church, emboldened by the reckless rhetoric from Minnesota’s sanctuary politicians and the media.

The Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, led by Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, has led the Trump administration investigation into what took place at Cities Church. Dhillon has been forceful in her denunciations of the activists who stormed the church, as well as in her promises for accountability.

Dhillon told The Daily Wire on Monday that the disruption at the church “clearly” represented a violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, or the FACE Act, that “criminalizes blocking, interfering with, disrupting a house of worship.”

“The only question really is who they are and what other offenses there may be,” said Dhillon.

Joy Behar Says It’s Time To ‘Do Something About Trump,’ Complains Protests And Voting Aren’t Enough

Joy Behar complained on Tuesday that it was time to “do something” about President Donald Trump — and she argued that just getting out in the streets to protest and even voting were not cutting it anymore.

Behar claimed that it was time for Trump to go, saying that Americans were just going to have to “step up” and make that happen, although she was largely unclear as to how that would work, logistically speaking.

“I think this is the end of it now for [President Trump]. It has to be. And Americans need to step up now. It’s not enough to go into the streets. It’s not enough to vote,” she said. “I believe that people need to start calling their congressmen and their Senators.”

“I mean, he has eroded civil rights at this point, he’s erasing history … he’s wrecking the economy, it’ll be decades before we get back to where we’re supposed to be, and he’s alienating us from our friends in NATO,” Behar claimed, as the cohosts voiced their agreement. “And all because he’s not getting his award.”

“You know, the shrinks call that a narcissistic injury,” Behar continued. “And that is what will get us into World War III because his ego is involved. And the only thing that Americans can do, including us, I mean, we have a forum here and we speak out.”

Behar went on to claim that people loved “The View” for exactly that reason — and she called on the audience to call their representatives and say, “It’s time to do something about this guy, because he’s leading us into World War III.”

Sunny Hostin followed Behar, claiming that Trump was only after Greenland because he wanted the rare earth minerals — and that people should take him seriously when he postured about taking the island nation by force.

Behar interrupted then, claiming that she blamed Congress because she believed the president was not well and held them responsible for failing to do something about it. The 25th Amendment was mentioned, but as Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out, that would have to come from the president’s own cabinet.
