Demonstrators launched the protest at Cities Church, where pastor David Easterwood heads up an ICE field office in Minnesota.

I simply can't wrap my head around the idea that this pastor is helping ICE. That must not be a Jesus church because if there's any one thing i can rest assured of: Jesus would smite that asshole for what he's doing. That is not a real Christian.

The entire reason they were at that church protesting is because the pastor, David Easterwood, served as the local field office director for ICE. It wasn't just a random protest at a random church. They were calling for the resignation of a pastor who is violating Christian values by assisting in the ethnic cleansing that ICE is perpetrating. The organizer of the protest is a reverend herself. She agrees with you about him not being a real Christian, and that's why she decided to do this in the first place. The fact that they're trying to turn this into an anti-Christian thing when she's a Christian reverend and she was criticizing him for violating Christian principals... it's a huge fucking joke. This government loves to operate on obvious lies though.
