(WND)—Director of National Intelligence Tusli Gabbard Tuesday condemned the anti-ICE protesters who disrupted a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, calling them “demoniac.”
Taking to X, the former Democrat congresswoman wrote:
“One of the main reasons I left the Democrat Party was because of their hostility towards God and those who have faith in or are trying to cultivate their love for God. Those so-called ‘protestors’ who tried to intimidate and terrorize innocent women, children, and men in the Minneapolis church is just another example of their hostility towards God and His worshippers. Such behavior is demoniac and should be condemned by everyone, and those who took part in such intimidation tactics should be held accountable.”
The church service was invaded by anti-ICE protesters Sunday with former CNN anchor Don Lemon apparently taking part in the disturbance.
Lemon livestreamed the intrusion of Cities Church, a Southern Baptist congregation, as shouts of “ICE out!,” “Hands up, don’t shoot” and “Justice for Renee Good!” echoed through the building. Good was the anti-ICE activist fatally shot by a federal agent this month when she allegedly tried to run over an officer with her vehicle.
President Trump responded to the incident early Tuesday, posting, “Just watched footage of the Church Raid in Minnesota by the agitators and insurrectionists.
“These people are professionals! No person acts the way they act. They are highly trained to scream, rant, and rave, like lunatics, in a certain manner, just like they are doing.
“They are troublemakers who should be thrown in jail, or thrown out of the Country. The first to go should be Walz, and Fake Sleazebag, Ilhan Omar, who is supposedly worth over $30 Million Dollars, even though she’s never had anything but a Government job. Investigate these Corrupt Politicians, and do it now!”
The Justice Department has said the federal FACE Act could be used to prosecute the church protesters.
