Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) defended anti-ICE protesters storming a church in Minnesota, saying, “None of us are immune from the voice of the public.”
Ellison made the remark in an appearance on ex-CNN host Don Lemon’s podcast on Monday. Lemon recorded a live video on YouTube of the Sunday protest at Cities Church in Minneapolis, in which agitators accused the church’s pastor of being a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent. Lemon was heard clarifying on video that he was “not part of the group” and that he was just there “photographing,” although the Department of Justice (DOJ) indicated it is investigating his involvement.
“The protest is fundamental to American society; this country started in a protest. It’s freedom of expression; people have a right to lift up their voices and make their peace. None of us are immune from the voice of the public,” Ellison said. “Quite honestly, I think that you got the First Amendment, freedom of religion and the freedom of First Amendment and freedom of expression. I think it’s just something you gotta live with in a society like this.”

The DOJ said it is investigating potential violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and the “KKK Act” related to the church protest — two federal laws the previous Biden administration used to target peaceful pro-life activists.
