The X post from

 (dated January 18, 2026) shows a short video clip of anti-ICE protesters disrupting a Sunday church service at Cities Church in Minneapolis. The protesters reportedly stormed in, shouting claims that one of the pastors (allegedly David Easterwood, listed on the church's leadership and previously identified in public as an Acting Field Office Director for ICE's Enforcement and Removal Operations in St. Paul) is an ICE agent. They interrupted worship, leading to chaos, walkouts, and the service being effectively shut down after about 20 minutes.This incident ties into broader unrest in Minneapolis and nationwide, sparked by the January 7 or 10, 2026 fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good (a 37-year-old woman) by an ICE agent during an immigration enforcement operation. That event triggered large protests, clashes, accusations of excessive force, and escalating anti-ICE activism. Faith communities in Minnesota have been actively resisting ICE actions (e.g., sanctuary-style support, vigils, and public statements), while some reports describe protesters confronting suspected ICE personnel in public spaces, restaurants, and now churches.The Breaking911 post and video quickly went viral on X, drawing heavy conservative backlash in replies and quotes:
  • Many called the protesters "communists," "terrorists," or "subhuman" for disrupting worship and trampling religious freedom/First Amendment rights.
  • Several demanded arrests, use of the Insurrection Act, or even lethal force in response.
  • Others pointed out hypocrisy, noting the same groups likely wouldn't disrupt services in mosques or synagogues.
  • A common sentiment: "Protest the government, but don't harass families trying to worship."
Counter-views in the thread and related posts defended the action as targeting an alleged ICE official hiding in plain sight in a leadership role, framing it as resistance to aggressive immigration enforcement.Former CNN host Don Lemon was reportedly on scene (captured in some footage/interviews), describing it as a "clandestine mission" by protesters after they "found out" about the pastor's alleged ICE ties. Some church attendees expressed anger at the intrusion, while one older parishioner acknowledged protest rights but said they don't extend to ruining a private service.No major arrests from this specific church incident appear confirmed yet, but the event has fueled narratives of rising revolutionary-style tactics vs. defending law enforcement amid heated immigration debates. The story remains developing as of January 19, 2026.
