“ICE Out” Chants in St Paul Church: DOJ Probes Protest Targeting Alleged ICE Pastor

The U.S. Department of Justice says it is investigating Black Lives Matter Minnesota protesters who disrupted Sunday services at Cities Church in St Paul, where one pastor is allegedly also the acting director of ICE’s local field office. Video shows demonstrators chanting “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good”, a 37-year-old mother of three who was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this month amid a wave of immigration raids. Protesters claim Pastor David Easterwood is the same David Easterwood named in court filings as the acting ICE St Paul field director, overseeing operations they say involve violent tactics, chemical agents and illegal arrests. ICE has defended its methods, including license-plate swaps, flash-bangs and crowd-control devices, as necessary against what it calls escalating threats.
