ICE Protests and Minnesota Crackdown

State judges in Minnesota have continued to reject arrest warrants tied to a Jan. 18 anti‑ICE disruption at Cities Church, even as federal authorities briefly took three people into custody — including St. Paul school board clerk Chauntyll Allen, who faces a charge of conspiracy to deprive others of their constitutional rights and has publicly defended the protest amid calls from a state lawmaker for her prosecution and removal. Don Lemon was reportedly released from jail after allegedly taking part in the church protest, which supporters and organizers framed as part of broader, nationwide demonstrations against the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.
