Another arrest, another unraveling of the far-left narrative that continues to portray chaos as justice and trespass as activism.
This time, it’s William Kelly—better known to his online followers as “DaWokeFarmer”—who found himself in FBI custody Thursday, charged with conspiracy to deprive rights and violating the FACE Act following his participation in the brazen, videotaped invasion of Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. The incident occurred during a January 18 service, when a mob of anti-ICE agitators stormed the sanctuary, terrifying worshippers and targeting the pastor—accused by the group of working with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Let’s be crystal clear here: this wasn’t a protest. This was an organized disruption of a religious service, inside a house of worship, targeting individuals based on perceived political affiliations. The church wasn’t picketed. It wasn’t leafleted. It was invaded.
And now, William Kelly—after days of openly daring the law to respond—is facing the very consequences he mocked.
“Come and get me,” he said, directly addressing Attorney General Pam Bondi in a string of profanity-laced tirades posted to social media. Kelly smeared the church’s leadership as “Nazis,” accused the pastor of being a “fucking ICE leader,” and suggested it was justifiable to violate the sanctity of a church because of a fabricated narrative tying the pastor to federal immigration enforcement.
Well, the FBI came and got him.

Kelly’s arrest follows that of Nekima Levy Armstrong, a known left-wing organizer, and Chauntyll Louisa Allen—both also charged in connection with the same incident. It’s a pattern of escalation we’ve seen too often: political grievance dressed up as activism, weaponized against ordinary Americans who are simply exercising their rights to gather and worship.
The FACE Act—originally passed to protect access to abortion clinics—is now, somewhat ironically, being used to protect a church from violent political disruption. The law prohibits threats, obstruction, or physical interference with anyone exercising their right to religious freedom. And in this case, the charges are well-earned.
Kelly’s attempt to justify his actions by appealing to immigrant hardship or Somali mosque closures doesn’t hold water. It’s not a defense of the vulnerable. It’s an excuse for mob rule. His rage wasn’t aimed at government policy. It was aimed at a pastor, at a church, at families and children gathered for worship.
And the American people are watching.

They see the double standard. They see the free pass often granted to leftist demonstrators who target religious spaces, ICE officers, and conservative institutions. They’ve watched protests morph into intimidation and vandalism—while media outlets brush it off as “mostly peaceful” or “community activism.”
But the tide is turning.
The Department of Justice, under mounting pressure from leaders like President Trump and AG Bondi, is finally beginning to treat these invasions for what they are: targeted acts of political harassment and civil rights violations.
As for William Kelly, his TikTok fame may win him clout in activist circles, but it won’t shield him from the federal charges now bearing down on him. When you storm a church, threaten a pastor, and dare the federal government to act—you can’t be surprised when the FBI shows up at your door.
