I just read the responses on Facebook to a Christianity Today article on the protesters against ICE who invaded a church in Minneapolis. The article in CT is balanced. One of the elders of the church is an ICE director, so the church was targeted for that reason. Don Lemon, who seems like a clown to me, showed up conveniently and filmed interviews with the pastor, acting very self-righteous.
In the comments on the story, which I figure are more from people trolling the sight than anything, they keep saying "Jesus flipped tables."
This comment is from ignorant people who don't know Jesus. Disturbing a Sunday morning service has nothing to do with the cleansing of the temple. The moneychangers were directly exploiting the poor. The church members were not doing that. People who write that have no concept about the New Testament.
Added 1/21: They are using this as a talking point someone made up. Note how often it appears in these comments.
All that said, two things can be true. The invasion of a church service did nothing to make the leftists look good except to their own tribe. It was pure intimidation.
But, ICE has not crowned themselves with glory and honor. I expect their leaders are expecting and allowing excessive behavior and shows of force, and yes, people have been pulled out of church services themselves for being either undocumented or "looking undocumented."
But again, two things can be true at once. Or three or four or ten.
A lot of criminals came into the country during the Biden immigration free-for-all and need to be deported.
Being here illegally is a crime. I can't go live in the Netherlands or England without the permission of those governments. Why should it be allowed here? I'm sorry, but deportations are needed. Cruelty is not.
We need immigrants, although we as a nation tend to think of them as members of the lower class who will do the dirty jobs: agriculture, janitorial, building, landscaping, domestic work. God forbid an American do those.
Illegal aliens do have some civil rights and some of them are being violated.
Renee Goode was in the wrong place at the wrong time and made a series of bad choices. The man who killed her, which he did, should not have been on duty after his own trauma and clearly was ill-trained. That does not make it murder. He should be punished, though, at some level because he is a public threat.
The left is well-organized and has a lot of money to train people to protest and make it look like crowds are anti-ICE when there are paid activists.
This all goes back to Congress never creating the kind of legislation that was needed--and we're talking about a 40-year period since Reagan's amnesty, and the election of a man who clearly is losing his mind.
But Don Lemon and those protesters were not on par with Jesus "flipping" tables.
