Nekima Levy Armstrong Jailed After Protesting ICE Official Who Also Serves as Pastor in St. Paul
The Justice Department said Thursday that it had arrested three people in Minnesota who interrupted a church service in St. Paul to protest a pastor’s role as a local ICE official. The activists involved in the protest now face charges under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, a law written to protect abortion clinics. One of the arrestees, civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong, had her appearance digitally altered in a photo posted online by the White House to make it look like she was crying while handcuffed. Her attorney, Jordan Kushner, tells Democracy Now! that Justice Department officials refused to let Levy Armstrong turn herself in, instead demanding an arrest at the hotel where she was staying. “This was their trophy,” says Kushner, who adds that the government “used more manipulative tactics to keep her in jail” even though “no one is detained in a case like this.”
