The highly anticipated moment has arrived as key figures behind the alleged communist takeover of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, face arrest. On Thursday morning, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) have apprehended Nekima Levy Armstrong. Armstrong is accused of being instrumental in orchestrating the attack on the church.

In a related development, Bondi also confirmed the arrest of Chauntyll Louisa Allen.

According to RedState’s Jennifer Oliver O’Connell, Allen, described as an “educator,” was reportedly seen at Cities Church, where she was accused of vociferously telling children they support murderers. Allen is recognized as a veteran community organizer, educator, and youth activist. She leads Black Lives Matter Twin Cities and serves on the Minneapolis School Board.

RedState’s Jennifer Oliver O’Connell gave us thus scoop on Allen on Tuesday, writing Allen is a supposed “educator” who was seen at Cities Church “actively shouting at children that they support murderers. Allen touts herself as “a longtime front-line community organizer, educator and youth activist.” Allen heads Black Lives Matter Twin Cities and is on the Minneapolis School Board.”
