DOJ probing protesters group that disrupted services at church with ICE pastor

The Department of Justice said Sunday it is investigating a group of protesters in Minnesota who disrupted services at a church where a local official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement apparently serves as a pastor.

A livestreamed video posted on the Facebook page of Black Lives Matter Minnesota, one of the protest's organizers, shows a group of people interrupting services at the Cities Church in St. Paul by chanting "ICE out" and "Justice for Renee Good." The 37-year-old mother of three was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this month amid a surge in federal immigration enforcement activities.

The protesters allege that one of the church's pastors - David Easterwood - also leads the local ICE field office overseeing the operations that have involved violent tactics and illegal arrests.

Justice Department Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said her agency is investigating federal civil rights violations "by these people desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshippers."

"A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest! It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws!" she said on social media.

Church used to be The public forum... Protestors wouldn't have to protest against ICE if the DOJ did their actual job.

Attack the CNN reporter as well

Never trust a pastor in a suit...

If Greenland becomes US territory, the idea of living far from the mainland sounds pretty good. Still America, just... less America.

CBS Shares Update on Minnesota ICE Shooting—With Huge Red Flag

Internet users were quick to point out that CBS was effectively just elevating Donald Trump’s propaganda.

Need any more proof that CBS News is being transformed into a mouthpiece for Donald Trump’s administration? Look no further than its latest “story” about Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good, an American citizen and mother of three.

CBS News posted on X Wednesday morning that Ross had “suffered internal bleeding to the torso” after shooting Good in her vehicle, citing “two U.S. officials briefed on his medical condition.”

The post, which supported the Trump administration’s dubious claims that Ross fired “defensive shots” because his life was in danger, was not accompanied by a link to an actual story.

This claim boosted by CBS News did, however, directly contradict video analysis that suggested Ross was not in the path of the vehicle when he fired the three shots. Rather, Ross braced his hand on the hood of Good’s vehicle while it moved forward and shot her three times as she turned her car away from him and other ICE agents. In additional footage from after the incident, Ross walked up and down the street, appearing unharmed.

Readers were furious that CBS News had boosted the government’s claim without appearing to have done any further reporting.

I think we may need to consider having two US capitals, similar to how the Roman Empire in its later years had Rome and Constantinople as capitals. One half of the country can be isolationist under Trump, the rest of the country can continue to engage with the outside world.

That would grant you civil war.

The guy wants to invade allies, why would he not invade the other part of the same country?

The only solution is getting him out and making massive revisions in laws to prevent it from ever happening again.

I know laws already exists and are being ignored to favor him everyday, but law that strips power from the very figure of the president.

Presidents are not kings, he needs to be checked by every other power, including military, which should not be under the direct orders of the president, and people need to understand it from very early in their life. Twisted patriotism USA has ingrained on its people for ages is a massive part of the reason this is happening.

I think it is important to look at what the numbers of deaths in custody actually looked like under Trump vs Biden

2017: 10
2018: 12
2019: 10
2020: 20

That totals 52 deaths in ICE custody in Trump's first term. 

2021: 5
2022: 3
2023: 7
2024: 11

That totals 26 deaths in ICE custody in Biden's term. That is a decline of exactly 50% (though it is important to not that there was a lot going on in the country at that time). 

2025: 32

In just one year, Trump surpassed the entirety of the Biden administration, making it the deadly year for those in ICE custody since 2004, and I don't see things getting any better any time soon.

I think that in case the US actually invade Greenland that a civil war may erupt either way, as this will result in absolutely massive protest the likes the US hasn't even seen yet. Protests that trump will want to subdue by force (as usual), but their sheer size make that impossible. Add counterprotests and fanatical followers pitted against the will to get rid of the warmonger in chief and you have the recipe for a civil war right there.

Yeah, the only thing Trump will make great about America is a great mess.

Y'all need to start exercising that 2nd amendment right against a tyrannical government.

You know, like Ice.

I hate violence but like I said 9 years ago and again 8 years ago and again 7 years ago and again 6 years ago and again 5 years ago and again all of last year, If the current administration isn't playing by the rules (checks and balances, going through senate for permission, doing things democratically, you know, the way it's SUPPOSED TO BE), then he's not a president, he's a king. And I'm sorry, but you're well past the point where simply tolerating it and barely fighting back isn't gonna keep your country from collapsing in on itself.

America is currently killing its own citizens, punishing those who resist or oppose by military or financial force, treating immigrants like they aren't human, using thier power to try to turn news into propaganda, and doing everything in its power to alienate the entire fucking world. they're making enemies of long-time allies (I'm in Canada and holy shit we've always been critical of the US but we've always been allies, which just isn't the case anymore), threatening outright aggression against allies in the form of what's going on in Greenland, not to mention a literal invasion of Venezuela (See how quickly people forgot about that?).

And the worst part is that all of this hurts the US. Like, it's not even up for debate. It hurts the economy, it hurts the people, it hurts the nation's international standing, it hurts everyone on every level but it adheres to 'traditional' ideas of 'strength' so the dipshits who can't see that unity is our actual cultural strength think this makes them look good and strong and powerful. It doesn't.

And sadly the US has the largest military in the world by a wide margin, so the only way short of World War III that we'll stop this knuckle-dragging power play is if the US fixes its shit itself. Either that means Impeaching trump, the military refusing unlawful orders, or an all-out civil war.

The only way America fixes this is if America fixes itself before it implodes upon itself. I'd prefer if the government resisted and did their goddamn jobs by checking and balancing this narcissistic, egotistical, immature madman, but you know the country is fundamentally fucked up at its core when this sort of lunacy persists without it being properly resisted. The fact that the current administration can say 'do this horribly nazi shit' and the entire governmental body isn't like 'uh, no, fuck that, we respect the constitution' shows just how deeply fucked the country is.

Fix your shit.

I repeat, y'all can't pretend that the US government/Conservatives/Republicans/The Trump loyalists aren't the villains. Literally EVERYONE in the world can see exactly where this is headed, because we have eyes and ears and even a surface level education on history and the cognitive function to have pattern recognition. You haven't had plausible deniablity for a long time now (we warned you, but you were so eager to be shitty you didn't care or were too stupid to understand), but you're almost past redemption now.

Fix. your. Shit.

And for anybody who knew who Donald Trump was before he was saying “you’re fired” on a shitty game show, that came as absolutely no surprise. 

I visited Atlantic City one month before Trump Taj Mahal, the last casino standing at the time, closed for good. Trump didn’t even own it by then. Carl Icahn did. Place was a shithole. AC looked more like Youngstown, OH after US Steel shut down than it did Las Vegas. 

RIP Constitution
