Protest at Cities Church Sparks Controversy
William Kelly, an anti-ICE activist known online as “DaWokeFarmer,” has dared U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to arrest him following a protest that disrupted a Minnesota church. The demonstration, which took place at Cities Church on Sunday, saw protesters claim that one of the pastors was acting as the director of ICE’s St. Paul office.
During the service, demonstrators shouted slogans like “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good,” leaving congregants visibly shocked.
Kelly Taunts Authorities Online
Following the incident, Kelly posted multiple videos on TikTok defending his actions and directly mocking Bondi and the Trump administration. In one video, he said:
“They wanna come after me? F— ’em. How can they live so comfortably while the f—ing people from Somalia who are legally here can’t even go to their mosque and pray? F— those f—ing Nazis. Come and get me, Pam Bondi, you f—ing traitorous b—-. All power to the people.”
In another clip, Kelly insisted there was no legal basis for charges, arguing that protesters did not block the service:
“They welcomed us in. They never asked us to leave. The police never came and removed us. People were still praying. Music was still playing. Pam Bondi, you want to come arrest me? Go ahead.”
He concluded by invoking Fred Hampton, saying:
“You can kill the revolutionary, but you can’t kill the revolution.”
Legal Implications
Legal experts have indicated the Justice Department could take strong action against the protesters, especially given the disruption of a religious service. Authorities are now weighing whether charges are warranted.
