out of CONTEXT A compilation of quotations on a variety of issues by national, state and regional writers, well-known personalities, just plain everyday people and from various publications collected by the editors of THE ADVANCE. Quotes for our Times: Byron York, chief political correspondent for The Washington Examiner: Minnesota and the battle to cripple ICE. Several protesters claimed they had a First Amendment right to barge into the service, interrupt worship with their yelling, and shut the church down. That's not how the First Amendment works, of course; the First Amendment's right to free speech does not allow protesters to cancel others' First Amendment right to religious expression. In addition, the protesters, led by a 'civil rights lawyer,' likely violated a law called the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which was passed in 1994 to protect access to both abortion clinics and churches. Matt Vespa, Managing Editor at Townhall. com: You can see why that anti-ICE lawsuit filed by Minnesota was such a crock. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison defended the leftist storming of a church service in the state as an act of free speech. It is not, especially when it was a mob action: these clowns thought an ICE agent was inside. The priest was even accused of working with federal law enforcement. It was all captured on video, thanks to Don Lemon, who might be facing charges for FACE Act violations. The Department of Justice is investigating the matter. Ellison said this was protected First Amendment activity. It’s certainly not. Does he even know what the FACE (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances) Act is? It’s not exclusive to abortion clinics, Keith. Michael R. Davis, founder and president of the Article III Project: Sorry Omar Fateh, we're not doing Somali-run no-go zones in Minnesota. Minnesota has descended into lawlessness. Billions of taxpayer dollars are squandered because of rampant fraud, mostly concerning the Somali community. Because of deranged anti-ICE rhetoric from inept confederate-like leaders Walz, Ellison and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey (i.e., calling the federal government’s presence an invasion and claiming that Minnesota is at war with the federal government), modern-day klansmen in Minnesota, like Lemon, have good reason to think that it is open season on federal law enforcement–because state authorities will do nothing about violence directed against ICE and even citizens supposedly associated with ICE. Those who stormed the church – especially Lemon – must receive indictments to punish them and send a crystal clear message to every other modern-day klansman who is contemplating a similar act. We cannot tolerate this seditious and bigoted misconduct, and any perpetrator like Lemon must spend a long time in federal prison. Dave Marcus, columnist for Fox News Digital: Minnesota and the battle to cripple ICE. Fateh and Omar would have their constituents believe that the broader rules of America, including our democratically enacted immigration laws, simply do not apply to them. It's a recipe for disaster. Americans are not going to be told that there are neighborhoods in their own nation which they may not enter. That might fly in Cologne or Copenhagen, but not in the United States. Omar Fateh needs to figure this out before he gets more people hurt or killed. out of CONTEXT A compilation of quotations on a variety of issues by national, state and regional writers, well-known personalities, just plain everyday people and from various publications collected by the editors of THE ADVANCE.
