1:58Now PlayingSt. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her said that both Republicans and Democrats need to respect "sacred spaces," following a protest that disrupted a church service in Minnesota.
"That is the only way that we're going to bring calm and order back to our city, is if everyone on both sides of the spectrum agree that they're going to respect sacred spaces," she told PBS News Hour's Geoff Bennett on Wednesday.
A group of protesters disrupted a service on Sunday at the Cities Church in St. Paul, where one of the pastors is an official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday that three people related to the demonstration have been arrested, including prominent civil rights attorney Nekima Levy Armstrong.
"Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP," Bondi wrote on the social media platform X.
The arrests come as the Trump administration is ramping up its aggressive approach to immigration with ICE's latest surge targeting the state of Maine.
