Local and federal authorities are investigating after a group of anti-ICE protesters crashed a Minnesota church service … and one of the demonstrators tells TMZ she’d still do it all over again.
Here’s the deal … the DOJ and local police are investigating after protesters interrupted a service at the Cities Church in St. Paul … which is getting major headlines because Don Lemon was in the mix live-streaming the incident.

Chauntyll Allen, leader of Black Lives Matter Twin Cities, who was among the group, tells TMZ … the jarring protest inside the church was necessary to make clear to the parishioners that having a pastor who is also an ICE official is unacceptable.
Chauntyll, who’s also a St. Paul School Board member, argues the community is being ripped apart by ICE … so the group disrupting a church service — and upsetting some parishioners — in comparison is pretty small potatoes.

The protesters have been dragged by people on the Right for going inside the church … but Chauntyll tells us she doesn’t think a line was crossed … and she would do it again if given the opportunity.
As for the threats of possible criminal charges … as you can see in the video, Chauntyll couldn’t care less, and argues the feds have vastly bigger fish to fry.
We spoke to a Cities Church member who feels the complete opposite … and who welcomes authorities sending a message that this type of behavior is unacceptable. And it seems President Trump agrees … sharing a social media post that Lemon specifically should be locked away.
