Anti-ICE Riots Thread

I haven't been seeing much news about this lately. For a while the situation in Minnesota was front page news every day, with shootings, church invasions, riots, etc. Now I'm not hearing anything.

I assume that ICE is still aggressively arresting illegals, and they're doing this not only in Minnesota but all over the US. If Trump has worn down the new media and this is proceeding relatively unnoticed, that's a good accomplishment!

I looked this up and found this article about ICE activity yesterday. I saw another post link saying ICE has reduced their number of agents in Minneapolis down to only 1000. This is still larger than the Minneapolis Police Department, which has 600 officers.


So while ICE has apparently lowered their tempo in Minneapolis, they haven't completely pulled out.

Wake me when one of those 39 is convicted and in jail.

Hasn't charges already been dropped on Lemon?

I only watched a little video of what happened, I can't endure much of it, but did anyone in authority in the church tell them to leave? That would be an adequate defense if uncontested.

Don Lemon, a former CNN anchor and current independent journalist, was indicted on January 30, 2026, by a federal grand jury in Minnesota on two counts: conspiracy to deprive others of their civil rights and interfering with the free exercise of religious beliefs (under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, or FACE Act).

These charges stem from his involvement in covering a January 18, 2026, anti-ICE protest that disrupted a Sunday service at Cities Church in St. Paul (not Minneapolis, though the Twin Cities area is often referenced interchangeably in reports).

Prosecutors allege Lemon participated in planning and executing the disruption, which targeted the church because one of its pastors is an ICE official.

He was arrested in Los Angeles on January 30 while covering the Grammy Awards and was released without bond the following day. On February 13, 2026, Lemon pleaded not guilty to both charges during his arraignment in federal court in St. Paul. As of the most recent available information (late February 2026), his case remains ongoing, with no trial date publicly set. He is one of 39 total defendants now charged in the incident, following an additional indictment of 30 more people on February 27.

Lemon maintains he was present solely as a journalist to document the event and has criticized the charges as an attack on press freedom.

Note that initial attempts by the Justice Department to secure arrest warrants for Lemon and several others were rejected by a federal magistrate judge in late January due to insufficient probable cause, but prosecutors bypassed this by obtaining a grand jury indictment.

There is no evidence from recent reports that the charges against him have been dropped or dismissed.
