A disruptive scene unfolded at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, as an anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protester passionately confronted congregants during a Sunday service. The agitator’s outburst was captured on video and shared widely on social media, drawing significant attention to the incident.

The viral Facebook post accompanying the footage boldly declared, “No Rest For Demons! If you support Kristi Noem, you are a demon!” Kristi Noem, mentioned in the post, is the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security. The video shows the protester moving through the church, accusing the attendees of hypocrisy. He charged, “All these pretend Christians, all these comfortable White people… are living lavish, comfortable lives, while children are dragged into concentration camps.”

In a direct confrontation with the worshippers, he proclaimed, “You are a fake Christian. You’re sinners.” His words reflect a deep-seated frustration with the perceived complacency of some churchgoers in the face of immigration policies he finds unjust.

The incident at Cities Church highlights ongoing tensions and the highly charged atmosphere surrounding immigration enforcement and its critics. Such demonstrations underscore the complex intersection of faith, politics, and activism in contemporary society.

“You are a fake Christian,” he asserted. “You’re sinners.” 

He accused people of living “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.
