“No cause — political or otherwise — justifies the desecration of a sacred space or the intimidation and trauma inflicted on families gathered peacefully in the house of God,”

Also them: "Immigrants can't hide in churches anymore, we're coming in"

She was there to protest him being a pastor, despite him being a high-tier ICE. See how they lie?

Words are a weapon to them. They do not believe anything they say, they simply use words to justify their attacks and then will just as easily say the exact opposite if it suits them.

It was a peaceful protest with chanting. What the fuck is this about trauma? Sure, it's the white people in church seeing a protest that are being traumatized..
