In a brief post on X Monday morning, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that two other individuals have been arrested as part of a screaming anti-ICE mob who stormed into a Minneapolis area church on Sunday, January 18, during the middle of their services, harassing congregants and terrifying children.
“If you riot in a place of worship, we WILL find you,” Bondi announced.
“We have made two more arrests in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota: Ian Davis Austin and Jerome Deangelo Richardson” she added.

A video circulating on X of Ian Austin identifies him as an Army veteran.
Jerome Deangelo Richardson is being described as a Black Lives Matter activist. BLM Grassroots lamented over Richardson’s arrest, saying he was assisting Don Lemon, and pushed out a GoFundMe account begging people to donate money to him.
Our Youth Vanguard member and @TempleUniv senior, Jerome Richardson is targeted for arrest by the Trump regime. Jerome was assisting Don Lemon in covering the #ICEOut protest at Cities Church in St. Paul last week. Please DONATE to support Jerome. https://t.co/R3tLs4rxUc
