On January 18, 2026, a group of protesters forcibly disrupted a worship service at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, entering the sanctuary, shouting over clergy, and physically obstructing the service in ways that intimidated worshipers, including families and children. This resolution condemns that disruption and specifically calls out media figure Don Lemon for participating in the disturbance. The resolution reaffirms that the First Amendment protects people's right to worship freely without intimidation or violence, and it notes that such conduct may violate the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act (FACE Act), a federal law that makes it illegal to use force, threats, or physical obstruction to interfere with people exercising their religious beliefs at places of worship. The House also commends the Department of Justice for investigating the incident and urges federal, state, and local authorities to ensure Americans can worship safely without fear of disruption or violence.
