Civil rights lawyer, former Minn NAACP pres, stages ‘Operation Pull Up’ at St Paul Christian church to harass worshipers, pastor who works for ICE

Activist civil rights lawyer Nekima Armstrong staged an anti-ICE mob action called "Operation Pull Up" on Sunday in Minnesota, where agitators rushed into a church service, disrupting worshipers and accusing the pastor of working for ICE. The Department of Justice is now investigating the incident.

The group invited Don Lemon to come document the action. He interviewed Armstrong in the parking lot outside the church. "This is Operation Pull Up," Armstrong said, "more of a clandestine operation. We show up somewhere that is a key location. They don't expect us to come there. We disrupt business as usual. So that's what we're about to go do right now."
