The Justice Department said on Feb. 2 it had arrested two more suspects in connection with the protest that disrupted a church service in Minnesota last month.

The protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)’s activities in the city occurred at Cities Church in St. Paul on Jan. 18. Three initial suspects were arrested on Jan. 22 for alleged violations of federal law, including the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act of 1994, which also applies to interference with religious worship.
