DOJ Faces Setbacks in Minnesota Church Invasion Case
TL;DR Summary
Federal judges in Minnesota largely blocked the DOJ’s effort to prosecute anti-ICE agitators who invaded Cities Church, tossing FACE Act charges for lack of probable cause and denying arrest warrants for five others; the DOJ’s appeal to the Eighth Circuit was rejected, leaving three defendants (Armstrong, Allen, and Kelly) with warrants and five others released, as the case moves forward and civil actions against the intruders are being considered.
