The moment all of us have been waiting for is finally here – the people who led the commie takeover of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, are being arrested. Attorney General Pam Bondi made the announcement Thursday morning, revealing that agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) have arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong, saying Armstrong "allegedly played a key role in organizing the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota."
Minutes ago at my direction, @HSI_HQ and @FBI agents executed an arrest in Minnesota.

Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP.
On the heels of Armstrong's arrest comes word from Bondi that Chauntyll Louisa Allen has also been taken into custody.

More to come.
WE WILL PROTECT OUR HOUSES OF WORSHIP 🙏🏻
RedState's Jennifer Oliver O'Connell gave us thus scoop on Allen on Tuesday, writing Allen is a supposed "educator" who was seen at Cities Church "actively shouting at children that they support murderers. Allen touts herself as "a longtime front-line community organizer, educator and youth activist." Allen heads Black Lives Matter Twin Cities and is on the Minneapolis School Board."

And if Armstrong's name sounds familiar, that's because she was interviewed by fledgling livestreamer Don Lemon as her horde of agitators gathered in the snowy parking lot of Cities Church just before they stormed and occupied the building as it held Sunday services.
Describing the "clandestine operation" in the works for the Christian gathering, Armstrong told Lemon, "We show up somewhere that's a key location – they don't expect us to come there. And then we disrupt business as usual. That's what we're about to go do right now."

She called it a “Clandestine Operation Pull-Up.”

The arrests come after Democrat Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison told Lemon earlier this week that Christians were going to have to live with such disruptions as the agitators enjoy their "freedom of expression."
Huzzah on these initial arrests! Now, let's see the rest of 'em cuffed and stuffed. Don Lemon, we're looking at you.
This is a breaking story. Be sure to stick with RedState for all the latest on the arrests being made in Minnesota.
