A federal judge on Friday ordered the release of two Minnesota church protestors.
US District Judge Laura Provinzino, a Biden appointee, said the protestors, Nekima Armstrong and Chauntyll Allen, are not a serious flight risk.
The judge set release conditions:
Condition (7)(d) requires defendants to surrender any passport, Visa, Advanced Parole Document, Refugee Travel Permit/Reentry Document, or other foreign travel document.
Condition (7)(e) requires that defendants not obtain a passport, Visa, Advanced Parole Document, Refugee Travel Permit/Reentry Document, or other foreign travel document.
The FBI arrested BLM activist Nekima Armstrong on Thursday morning for her role in storming Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday.
Armstrong was charged with Conspiracy Against Rights, a federal crime that carries up to ten years in prison.
“Homeland Security Investigators and FBI agents arrested Nekima Levy Armstrong who played a key role in orchestrating the Church Riots in St. Paul, Minnesota,” DHS Chief Noem said.
“She is being charged with a federal crime under 18 USC 241,” Noem said.
“Religious freedom is the bedrock of the United States – there is no first amendment right to obstruct someone from practicing their religion,” she added.
