An anti-ICE agitator who berated children and families during a Sunday worship service in St. Paul, Minnesota, has also been targeting congregants at Secretary of War Pete Hegseths church in Washington, D.C.
The agitator, William Kelly, who posts videos of his confrontations with law enforcement on social media, was part of the left-wing group that disrupted services at Cities Church in St. Paul, according to WND. Earlier recordings show Kelly outside Christ Church DC on Capitol Hill, where Hegseth worships, hurling abuse at parishioners and branding them f***ing nazis and spineless little b*tches.
In another video, Kelly can be seen screaming traitor at Hegseth and threatening, youre going to learn how to do a pull up in prison. Kelly boasted about his campaign of harassment in a Dec. 9 video, telling podcaster Jesse Dollemore, Ive been waiting for this for a long time, and adding, I go to his church almost every Sunday, and I miss him every time. So this was a long time coming.
Kelly launched a GoFundMe in November asking supporters to help him travel the Nation scolding the gestapo for their bad decisions, a campaign that has already pulled in $39,773. His TikTok account, where he amplifies his anti-police and anti-church activism, has roughly 65,000 followers.
The pattern of targeted harassment has alarmed federal officials and church leaders who see it as part of a broader campaign of intimidation against Christians and law enforcement. @AGPamBondi, the man (DaWokeFarmer aka William Kelley) harassing parishioners in MN has been part of a group that gathers every Sunday to harass worshipers at @ChristKirkDC since the church was founded last summer, Deputy Under Secretary of War for Intelligence and Security Justin Overbaugh wrote Sunday on X.
While MPD provides security, they take no action when the mob uses bullhorns to disrupt services, which is in clear violation of the law, Overbaugh added, underscoring what many conservatives view as a double standard in how authorities respond to left-wing versus right-of-center demonstrations. Kelly did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Families with young children at Christ Church DC are forced to walk through a gauntlet of vulgarity and abuse simply to attend worship. They endure profanity laden harassment as they enter and exit, according to Joe Rigney, a founding pastor of Cities Church and current pastor at Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho, which planted the D.C. congregation.
Rigney described the physical and spiritual toll of the protests on his flock, noting that One member went to the hospital after a protester let loose with the full force of a bullhorn in his ear. The protests continue during the worship service, as the agitators attempt to drown out the psalm singing and sermon with noise and sound amplification, he said Monday for World.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said Sunday she has been in constant communication with Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, whose division is examining potential violations of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act by the protesters who stormed the Minnesota church. The FACE Act, often invoked by Democrats against pro-life activists, is now being considered as a tool to protect Christian congregations from leftist mobs intent on silencing worship.
I just spoke to the Pastor in Minnesota whose church was targeted. Attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law, Bondi wrote on X, signaling a more robust federal posture in defense of religious liberty. If state leaders refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness, this Department of Justice will remain mobilized to prosecute federal crimes and ensure that the rule of law prevails.
Kelly, who portrays himself as a victim rather than an aggressor, claimed the day before appearing at Cities Church that he was kidnapped by ICE for practicing my 1st amendment rights. His escalating tactics, the apparent inaction of local authorities, and the need for federal intervention highlight a growing clash between radical activists and Americans simply seeking to worship in peace.
