‘This is a political persecution’ Says Attorney of Activist’s Arrests in Twin Cities

three activists in the Twin Cities were arrested for protesting a church where the leader of the local ICE office is also a pastor. Civil rights attorney and organizer Nekima Levy Armstrong, St. Paul School Board member Chauntyll Allen, and veteran-activist William ‘DaWokeFarmer’ Kelly were charged in a criminal complaint with conspiracy against the rights of others, Title 18, Section 241 [18 U.S.C. § 241], a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

“It just shows the racism and fascism in this administration, that they’re willing to literally invent reality,” said Levy Armstrong’s attorney Jordan Kushner.

“This is a political persecution,” said Kushner. “The government has initiated this political prosecution to intimidate any political opponents of the Trump regime’s oppressive and harmful actions rather than to protect religious worship or the community.”
