FBI arrests anti-ICE activists over Minnesota ‘church riot’ | 22 Jan 2026 | The FBI and the US Department of Homeland Security have arrested three anti-ICE activists who invaded a Minnesota church and disrupted last week’s Sunday service. Nekima Levy Armstrong, William Kelly, and Chauntyll Louisa Allen have been charged under the 1994 FACE Act, which protects worshipers from intimidation and physical obstruction at religious sites. “Religious freedom is the bedrock of the United States — there is no First Amendment right to obstruct someone from practicing their religion,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem wrote on X on Thursday. Attorney General Pam Bondi described the protest as a “coordinated attack” on a place of worship. The Department of Homeland Security said the activists took part in “church riots.”
