Prominent Catholic Bishop Robert Barron is speaking out against a mob of agitators who stormed a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Sunday to protest ICE.
Barron, who leads the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, Minnesota, just southeast of St. Paul, and is the founder of “Word on Fire” Ministries, called the disruption “unacceptable.”
“I don’t care what is animating or annoying you, I don’t care what your political persuasion might be, invading a church is unacceptable and is a violation of religious liberty,” Barron wrote in an X post on Monday.
This comes after dozens of anti-ICE agitators disrupted a service at Cities Church, a Baptist congregation, chanting “Justice for Renee Good” and “Who needs justice, we need justice,” as they stood inside the church.

Barron addressed the widespread anti-ICE unrest in Minnesota in a separate X post on Sunday. He wrote, “As a resident of Minnesota and as bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, my heart is breaking over the situation in my home state.”
“Violence, retribution, threats, protests, deep suspicion of one another, political unrest, fear—all of it swirling around all the time,” Barron lamented.
“May I make a modest proposal for exiting this unbearable state of affairs? The Trump Administration and ICE should limit themselves, at least for the time being, to rounding up undocumented people who have committed serious crimes. Political leaders should stop stirring up resentment against officers who are endeavoring to enforce the laws of the country. And protestors should cease interfering with the work of ICE,” he suggested.
