DOJ launches civil rights investigation after Minnesota agitators storm church

Top-level members of Trump's administration vowed an investigation after the unrest on Sunday.

"President Trump will not tolerate the intimidation and harassment of Christians in their sacred places of worship," Leavitt said.

"The Department of Justice has launched a full investigation into the despicable incident that took place earlier today at a church in Minnesota," she continued.

Harmeet Dhillon, the assistant attorney general for civil rights, said she and her team are "hard at work" investigating the incident.

"We will not rest until we are able to deliver justice," Dhillon said in a statement.

Appearing on CBS' "Face the Nation" on Sunday, Frey rejected the Trump administration's characterization of the immigration crackdown in Minnesota, arguing the surge of federal agents has made residents feel targeted rather than protected.

"This is not about safety. What this is about is coming into our city by the thousands and terrorizing people simply because they're Latino or Somali," Frey said. "People in Minneapolis are speaking up. They're speaking up peacefully. They're standing up for their neighbors. And this is not just about resisting Trump. This is about loving and caring for the people that call this city home. And it's been inspiring."
