WASHINGTON (TNND) — Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz on Monday denounced anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protesters storming a church over the weekend.

“The Governor has repeatedly and unequivocally urged protesters to do so peacefully,” Walz’s office said in a statement to Fox News, according to the outlet’s White House correspondent Bill Melugin. “While people have a right to speak out, he in no way supports interrupting a place of worship.”

Over the weekend, protesters with the Radical Justice Network stormed a church and interrupted Sunday morning worship.

The protesters picked that church because they alleged Cities Church pastor David Eastwood of being the acting ICE field office director in Minnesota, according to the New York Post.

Don Lemon was with the protesters and Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the Department of Justice, Harmeet Dhillon put him “on notice.”

Anti-ICE protests have been increasing in Minnesota following the death of Renee Good, who was killed by ICE agent Jonathan Ross.

A spokesperson for the Homeland Security Department said that Ross shot Good after she tried to run him over with her car. The FBI is leading an investigation into what happened.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said she spoke to the pastor and the incident is being met with “full force of federal law.”

“If state leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness, this Department of Justice will remain mobilized to prosecute federal crimes and ensure that the rule of law prevails,” Bondi wrote on X.
