Federal Authorities Announce Two Arrests Tied to St. Paul Church Attack

by | Jan 22, 2026

Federal law enforcement agents have arrested two individuals in connection with a coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced, identifying Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Louisa Allen as being taken into custody at her direction.

 

Bondi said Homeland Security Investigations and FBI agents executed the arrests in Minnesota, stating that Armstrong allegedly played a key role in organizing the attack on the church. The arrests follow a protest at the church last weekend that drew national attention after activists disrupted services to target a pastor they said was linked to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Federal officials are investigating potential civil rights and other charges related to the incident.
