Nearly all suspects arrested in St Paul church storming; MLK’s niece says hostile tactics ‘not the way’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
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.”

Michigan was the best team in the Big Ten this season and one of the best teams in the entire collegiate landscape. The Wolverines went 29-2 and won the Big Ten by four games. But the Maize and Blue did have one hiccup this season and that came back in January when the Wolverines fell to the Wisconsin Badgers at home.
On Saturday, Michigan will get a chance to avenge that loss. After the Wolverines took down Ohio State and Wisconsin beat Illinois in overtime, the two teams will meet once again, this time in the Semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament.
Following Wisconsin’s win over Illinois, coach Greg Gard spoke about facing Michigan for the second time this season.
“They’re a terrific team,” Gard said. “You’ve got to make shots. You’ve got to be able to guard. Mara is a handful. Lendeborg is a handful. You go up-and-down the list. Point guard Cadeau. They’re well put together in terms of the pieces fit really well together, how they play off one another is exceptional. They can hurt you inside. They can shoot 3s. They make it hard because of how they defend, and Mara can take up a lot of space in the paint.
“So you have to be — I think we made 15, 16 3s in Ann Arbor. We’ll have to get our rest tonight and start diving through film. I know the assistants have been working ahead of that. And then get ready as we prep and rest up over the next, I don’t know, 20 hours or so.”
Make the best man win
While Michigan is looking to take down Wisconsin for the first time this season, a former Dusty May player is looking to beat his former coach once again. Nick Boyd played under Dusty May at FAU and Boyd credits May for where he is at today.
“It’s just an honor,” Boyd said of facing May. “He’s a big reason why I’m in this position I am today, his mentorship and just showing me how to be a good human being. He set that example while I was with him for a couple years. I’m happy for him. He’s come a long way. I seen him when he had zero championships, and I don’t know how many he has now.
“It’s just awesome we get to square off again. When the ball goes in the air, may the best man win.”
Michigan and Wisconsin will play on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET on CBS on Saturday.
Defensive disruption key factor for Detroit Pistons’ wins and losses
Omari and Bryce break down the Detroit Pistons’ 4-game losing streak and why their defense is the key element to their style of play.
The Detroit Pistons closed a two-game homestead with another blowout.
They defeated a banged-up Memphis Grizzlies team at Little Caesars Arena, 126-110, on Friday, March 13, behind a strong effort by Jalen Duren. The All-Star big overpowered Memphis’ frontcourt and finished with 30 points and 13 rebounds on 12-for-15 overall shooting.
Cade Cunningham had near-triple double with 17 points, 15 assists, eight rebounds and three steals, and Marcus Sasser added 16 points in a 313 Day victory. It was Cunningham’s third game in a row with at least 13 assists. The Pistons led by as many as 22 points and pulled away in the third quarter, extending their lead to 17 with a 16-5 run midway through the period.
With the win, the Pistons (48-18) extended their lead to five games over the Boston Celtics in the East, with the Celtics idle Friday. The also rounded off thelr Central Division lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers to an even eight games with 16 to play this season.
Next up for the Pistons
The Pistons can also take a step toward clinching a playoff spot, as they head to Toronto to face the East’s 7-seed, the Toronto Raptors, on Sunday (3:30 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Detroit). The Pistons enter Saturday with an 11½-game lead on the Raps; a win would put them 12½ up with 15 to play.
Medical roll call
Caris LeVert (left wrist sprain) returned for the Pistons following a three-game absence. They were without Ausar Thompson (right ankle sprain) for the fifth straight game. Tobias Harris (left hip soreness) also missed the game.
More than half of the Grizzlies’ rotation was out for the game, including star guard Ja Morant, Zach Edey, Jaylen Wells, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Santi Aldama, Brandon Clarke, Scotty Pippen Jr. and GG Jackson.
Duncan Robinson, Kevin Huerter spark offense in second quarter
Injuries have opened the door for coach J.B. Bickerstaff to experiment with lineups through recent weeks. One combination he wants to see more of: Duncan Robinson and Kevin Huerter, two of the Pistons’ most respected shooters. He liked what he saw from the duo against the San Antonio Spurs last week; injuries to Thompson and LeVert have opened more minutes for Huerter, who initially was out of their rotation after arriving at the trade deadline.
Huerter checked in for Robinson with four minutes left in the first quarter, and Robinson checked back in to join Huerter at the 8:44 mark of the second. The Pistons turned a five-point deficit into a five-point lead by the time Huerter checked out again with 5:49 to play until halftime.
The two players led the run, with Huerter knocking down a 3 before Robinson found Isaiah Stewart in transition with a lob, followed by a 3-pointer from Robinson that gave the Pistons the lead for good, 46-44. Huerter made his first three shots, including a pair of 3-pointers, and played at least 20 minutes for the fourth game in a row.
Marcus Sasser has best outing as a starter
Bickerstaff has stuck with Sasser in the starting lineup for five consecutive games since Thompson’s injury. The third-year guard needed a few games to find a groove, shooting 3-for-12 during his first two starts. Friday was one of his best outings of the season, with his 16 points his highest total since scoring 18 on Jan. 1 against the Miami Heat.
Sasser is one of the better shooters on the team and provides a different element to the starting lineup, compared to Thompson. Friday marked his second time in three games knocking down four 3-pointers, and he repeatedly punished the Grizzlies for leaving him alone in the left corner.
He helped the Pistons shut the door in the second half, knocking down a pair of 3-pointers to keep the Pistons in control after Memphis cut it to three, 75-72, with just under nine minutes left in the third. His fourth 3-pointer of the night midway through the period extended a 16-5 Pistons run and gave them their biggest lead up to that point, 94-77.

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.
Milwaukee Department of Public Works (DPW)
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.
