The Washington Post editorial board condemned a protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, describing it as an 'assault on religious liberty.' The protest, which targeted a pastor with ties to immigration enforcement, disrupted a Sunday service and was accompanied by former news anchor Don Lemon, whom the Post labeled an 'internet provocateur.' The editorial criticized the protesters for traumatizing children and argued that such actions undermine the civic fabric, even as it acknowledged outrage over immigration enforcement practices. The Post called for peaceful activism as a more effective and principled approach, highlighting recent clergy-led protests as a positive example, and emphasized that the rights to protest and to practice faith must coexist without one infringing upon the other.
