At the Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, a protester vehemently criticized the congregation during a Sunday service, voicing strong opposition to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
In a viral Facebook video, the protester’s outburst is highlighted with the caption, “No Rest For Demons! If you support Kristi Noem you are a demon!”
Kristi Noem holds the position of Secretary at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The video captures the man pacing through the service, accusing the attendees, described as “pretend Christians” and “comfortable White people,” of enjoying privileged lives while children suffer in what he termed concentration camps.
The protest unfolded at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, as documented by an AP photographer, Angelina Katsanis.
Calling out the attendees, he declared, “You are a fake Christian. You’re sinners.”
He further criticized them for leading “a very easy life, while people are starving.”
An overlay on part of the video reads, “PROTESTING DAVID EASTERWOODS RACIST CHURCH THAT SUPPORTS KRISTI NOEM!’
Demonstrations against ICE have increased in Minnesota following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent. The Trump administration said Good was attempting to ram the agent with her vehicle when he opened fire.
The agitators allege that one of the church’s pastors — David Easterwood — also leads the local ICE field office overseeing the operations that they claim have involved alleged violent tactics and illegal arrests.
The incident comes as the Trump administration continues cracking down on illegal immigrants in the U.S., sparking the ire of the radical left.
