William Kelly, one of the anti-U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agitators who disrupted a service at Cities Church in Saint Paul, Minn., on Sunday, has been arrested.
"A THIRD subject has now been arrested connected to targeting Cities Church in Minneapolis Sunday. William Kelly is now in custody," FBI Director Kash Patel declared in a Thursday post on X.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem noted in a post, "William Kelly is being charged with conspiracy to deprive rights, a federal crime, for his involvement in the St. Paul church riots."

"William Kelly is now in custody," U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi noted in a Thursday post on X.
"Our nation was settled and founded by people fleeing religious persecution. Religious freedom is the bedrock of this country. We will protect our pastors. We will protect our churches. We will protect Americans of faith," she noted in the post.
Kelly had said days earlier in a video, "Come and get me Pam Bondi, you f---in' traitorous b----."

He asserts that "all these pretend Christians, all these comfortable White people… are living lavish, comfortable lives, while children are dragged into concentration camps."
"You're sinners. You're pretending to be Christians. But we know you live an easy life, don't you? A very easy life while people are starving," he said.
