Anti-ICE Agitator Who Dared Bondi to Come Get Him Finds Out That Was a Bad Idea

We reported earlier on the arrests of two people allegedly involved in disrupting the service at the Cities Church in St. Paul last Sunday. They chanted Renee Good's name and "Hands up, don't shoot!" among other things, as they shouted in the church.

One was Nekima Levy Armstrong, who Bondi alleged played a key organizing role.

Minutes ago at my direction, @HSI_HQ and @FBI agents executed an arrest in Minnesota.

So far, we have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, who allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.

We will share more updates as they…

Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP.

They also arrested Chauntyll Louisa Allen, according to Bondi.

UPDATE: A second arrest has been made at my direction. Chauntyll Louisa Allen has been taken into custody.

More to come.

WE WILL PROTECT OUR HOUSES OF WORSHIP 🙏🏻

Now they've got a third person, and he was one of the people who was very vocal during the action at the church, an agitator named William Kelly.

UPDATE:

William Kelly is now in custody.

Kelly had challenged Bondi about bringing charges against him, saying, "So be it." He posted a video showing some of his actions at the church, referring to the people as "pretend Christians" and "comfortable white people." In his later comment, he called them "white supremacists."

Bondi posted a portion of his video and said, "Ok," in response to the challenge to get him.

Fox News' Bill Melugin reported that Kelly had previously told Bondi in a video, "Come and get me, you traitorous bitch."

We're in the "find out" stage right about now, and it's been a good day.

None of these people helped themselves with their comments during and after the event. Armstrong tried to downplay the action, arguing they didn't "rush into the church," but that they "participated in the service." I think they're going to have a tough time with that kind of an argument, given the videos.

I'm thinking that with these new developments, Kelly might now be realizing that playing the tough guy wasn't such a good idea.
