Summary
Anti-ICE protesters storm a worship service because an ICE official is also one of the pastors. Don Lemon live streams it. We reveal the legal, moral, and spiritual stakes. Along the way, Jim Babka shares his unique experience with Freedom of the Press at the Supreme Court, and his experience having someone maliciously interrupt a service while he was an "accidental pastor." We explain and defend press freedom, Jim confesses personal mistakes, and analyze whether or not the protest was wise or effective.
