Dozens of anti-ICE agitators who stormed a Minneapolis church during Sunday services won’t be prosecuted because the left-wing lawyer overseeing the case refused to press charges — a move that gives feral mobs a license to terrorize churchgoers at will.
In a statement Wednesday, St. Paul City Attorney Irene Kao said there was insufficient evidence to pursue state criminal charges against the anti-ICE rioters.
“Our office has a legal and ethical obligation to file charges only when the available evidence establishes probable cause and supports a reasonable likelihood of conviction beyond a reasonable doubt,” Kao said per the Associated Press.
“Following a careful evaluation of the video footage, investigative reports, and other available materials, prosecutors determined that the current evidence is insufficient to meet that standard for criminal charges under Minnesota state statutes,” she said.

Kao also laughably insisted that her decision “should not be interpreted as an endorsement of unlawful behavior or public disorder.”
As a reminder, a leftist mob invaded the Cities Church in St. Paul on Jan. 18, and disrupted Sunday services while ranting against Immigration and Customs Enforcement for enforcing U.S. immigration laws.
One victim said the mob blocked the church exits and “made it nearly impossible for parishioners to get out and leave.”
Another victim said when terrified parents tried to go downstairs to retrieve their children from the child care area, the protesters blocked the stairs, so “the parents were unable to get their children.”
An agitator "continued to scream in the faces of young children while they were crying."

So while championing the alleged “rights” of illegal aliens, violent leftists terrorized U.S. citizens and their children, imprisoned churchgoers, and trampled on their religious freedom.
And thanks to St. Paul City Attorney Irene Kao, they won’t face any state criminal charges.
Fortunately, the U.S. Department of Justice is still pursuing federal civil rights charges against 39 people, including fired CNN anchor Don Lemon, who accosted churchgoers while livestreaming the event.
The left’s sycophantic coddling of foreign invaders and other criminals is nauseating.
Conservatives and other patriots must take a stand against this lunacy before this nation becomes irrecoverably broken. And sadly, we’re on the precipice now.
