Senate Republican Leader Mark Johnson (East Grand Forks) released the following statement responding to a church service being disrupted by anti-ICE protestors yesterday:
“The anti-ICE protest that disrupted a St. Paul church service yesterday is unacceptable. Our nation holds dear the commitment to the rule of law and respect for religious freedom. I strongly condemn this reckless action that invades places of worship to harass people in a sacred space. Let’s lower the tone; I’m praying for all Minnesotans to come together and work toward solutions for our state.”
