Nearly all suspects indicted in the January storming of a Minnesota church have now been arrested, including two apprehended abroad, and Dr. Alveda King warned the hostile tactics used “are not the way” of the Civil Rights Movement led by her uncle, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

King spoke after Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said Wednesday that nearly all individuals indicted in the January storming of Cities Church in St. Paul have now been arrested.

“As of Monday, all 39 individuals indicted in the attack on Cities Church in MN had been arrested, two of them while abroad,” Dhillon wrote on X before later clarifying that one suspect remains at large. “We will find and arrest this individual.”

“It is so important to take a look at what is going on in America today, especially as you mentioned, the church that was stormed by angry protesters, challenging the people who were there worshiping God,” King, a Fox News contributor, told Fox News Digital.

“I was taught to protest prayerfully and non-violently,” she said. “So, yes, I was absolutely shocked and disturbed to see a worship service disturbed with hostility. That is not the way to get God’s attention. That should not be the way to get America’s attention.”

King, who participated in the Civil Rights Movement as a youth organizer in the 1960s, said churches were gathering places — not targets. 

“When we were in the church, we were singing, we were praying, we were strategizing,” she said. “They were not hostile. They were not combative.”

She drew a direct line between the Civil Rights Movement she experienced and the tactics she saw in Minnesota.

“Any movement that is rooted in violence and hostility, throwing rocks, disturbing or yelling or screaming, that is not the way of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

“The way to get someone’s attention does not have to include violence.”

King said her perspective is shaped by her own family history.

“My father, Reverend Alfred Daniel Williams King, was a Christian pastor until he was killed, assassinated in 1969,” she said. “His church in Louisville, Kentucky, was bombed during the Fair Housing Movement.”

“I was taught to love, to forgive, to repent and to walk together with my human brothers and sisters.”

Fox News Digital previously reported that an anti-ICE mob stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, interrupting a worship service after protesters claimed a pastor inside was affiliated with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Video circulating online showed agitators chanting inside the sanctuary as the service began.

After the incident, the Department of Justice opened an investigation “to determine whether civil rights laws were violated,” Fox News Digital reported. 

Dhillon wrote on X that the Civil Rights Division is investigating potential violations of the federal FACE Act.

King framed the disruption as a broader issue of religious freedom.

“We have to have religious freedom in America. That is one of our credos,” she said. “And if we have religious freedom, we should be able to congregate peacefully and worship.”

“My religious liberty should be there with safety, comfort and assurance without the threat of violence.”

When asked what her uncle would say today, King pointed to his own words.

“Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, ‘We must learn to live together as brothers and sisters or perish together as fools.’

“I believe if my uncle were here … he would say, pray, get along and work it out.”

MILWAUKEE – The deadline to get leaves to the street for Milwaukee’s one-time spring leaf cleanup is Sunday, but this weekend’s expected winter weather could impact when crews are able to collect them.

The latest:

The Milwaukee Department of Public Works said the weather will likely result in a snow operation. As soon as snow duties wrap up, crews will be out to complete a full cycle through the city to collect leaves.

The deadline for residents to get leaves to the street is March 15. Weather permitting, the final leaf collection cycle is expected to begin on Monday, March 16. 

The backstory:

Significant early snowfall and sustained cold temperatures interrupted the fall leaf collection season before it could be fully completed by its Nov. 30 deadline, the city said. Due to the conditions and the seasonal redeployment of equipment, it was not feasible to resume leaf collection until sustained warmer temperatures were in the forecast.

The city said proper leaf collection helps reduce flooding and keep storm drains clear, protects water quality by keeping leaves out of local rivers and Lake Michigan, and makes streets safer and cleaner for walking, biking, and driving.

What you can do:

The DPW asks residents to clean up their curb areas, some of which were impacted by snow plowing through the winter. Leaves should be raked into the street with a one-foot gap from the curb.

No service request is needed for leaves raked into the street.

Residents who prefer to bag their leaves in compostable paper lawn bags may do so, and DPW will collect them curbside during the one-time collection. Plastic bags will not be collected.

To request curbside collection of paper-bagged leaves, the DPW said residents must submit a Leaf PickUp request online, use the MKEMobileAction app or call 414-286-CITY by March 15. 

What’s next:

The city said compostable paper lawn bags will also be accepted during Project Clean & Green, the cleanup effort that follows the spring leaf rake-out and begins in late April. Residents will receive service on their regular garbage collection day of the week for their zone. Additional details will be shared as the start date approaches.

Compostable paper lawn bags may also be dropped at any time, free of charge at City Drop Off Centers.
