An anti-deportation protester who dared Attorney General Pam Bondi to arrest him for crashing a Sunday church in Minnesota is now in custody, Bondi said Thursday.
William Kelly was seen on video with a crowd invading and loudly disrupting a service at Cities Church in St. Paul over allegations that the pastor worked for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Bondi described the protest as an attack on congregants’ religious liberty and announced multiple related arrests, including Kelly’s, in Thursday X posts.
“So, you know, Pam Bondi, you want to come and arrest me? You want to come and give me charges? So be it,” Kelly previously said in a video interview after the Sunday protest.
“Ok,” Bondi responded in a Thursday post.
Kelly is charged with conspiracy to deprive rights and violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a law that criminalizes obstructing houses of worship and other facilities, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said on X
