Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the arrest of Nekima Levy Armstrong in a post on X. The protests occurred during Sunday service at Cities Church in St. Paul, where a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement employee serves as a pastor. Bondi later posted on X that a second person had been arrested.
