BREAKING: A gay Minneapolis pastor shares terrifying story of how ICE put a GUN IN HIS FACE, taunted him and then arrested him for simply standing with protestors!
Rev. Kenny Callaghan of All God’s Children Metropolitan Community Church in Minneapolis recounted the alarming tale to the Advocate.
Last Wednesday, he went to investigate after hearing news that ICE was harassing a Hispanic woman just a few blocks away from where Renee Good would be murdered.
Callaghan told the Advocate that “his initial instinct was pastoral and protective — he was not seeking confrontation but was concerned that agents appeared to be menacing the woman.”
“I saw ICE agents circling a young woman who appeared to be Hispanic,” he said. “I said to this ICE agent, ‘Take me, stop harassing her.’
ICE responded by immediately pointing his gun in his face. “Are you afraid now?” taunted the goon.
“No, I’m not afraid” replied the pastor.
So they threw him in the back of a black SUV.
After half an hour, the agent came back to ask him if he was afraid yet. Callaghan again said no, so they let him go. No charges, no nothing.
Before letting him go, Callaghan said, the agent told him, “You’re white anyway. You wouldn’t be any fun.”
“I never, ever saw systemic racism so blatantly in all my life as I heard that day,” Callaghan said. “What I saw was a use of fear and intimidation with people.”
As if it wasn’t clear enough already, this is proof that the ICE deployment to Minneapolis is not about immigration; it is about using the President’s personal paramilitary force to inflict terror, death, and pain on people he considers political enemies.
They need to be arrested and charged with domestic terrorism — because that’s all this is.
