Minnesota’s Democrat Attorney General Keith Ellison is rejecting assertions that anti–Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agitators who stormed a church in his state over the weekend may have violated federal civil rights laws.
Ellison defended the mod, despite the Department of Justice (DOJ) confirming it is reviewing the incident, which appeared to be provoked by former CNN anchor Don Lemon.
Top DOJ officials have said they are examining whether activists who disrupted Sunday services at Cities Church in St. Paul violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act or the Ku Klux Klan Act, both of which carry potential criminal penalties.
