Crazed Leftist William Kelly Claims He Did Nothing Wrong After Storming Church — “Come Arrest Me, SO BE IT!”

William Kelly — a.k.a. DaWoke Farmer on social media — just doubled down on challenging the DOJ to come arrest him.

The deranged, beanie-wearing leftist was one of the many protestors who stormed into a Minneapolis church on Sunday.

Yesterday, after the DOJ announced their intention to press charges against these agitators, Kelly posted a video taunting Pam Bondi to come and get him.

Full story on that here:

Leftist Protestor Who Stormed Minneapolis Church Taunts DOJ to Arrest Him — “Come and Get Me Pam Bondi!”

Now, Kelly is at it again.

But this time, he's playing the victim, claiming that he did nothing wrong and that the DOJ has no case against him.

After asserting that "there's no basis for these charges," Kelly once again dared the DOJ to arrest him.

(Kelly's assertion is completely false, but I'll get into that later.)

First, watch this clip for yourself:

I'm sorry, but the way they all burst into applause at his little rant about the "revolution" is just so cringe...

His speech might have inspired his fellow leftists, but Kelly seems very uninformed about the law.

The DOJ, in fact, has plenty of basis for federal charges against Kelly and all the other people who were part of storming the Minneapolis church -- including Don Lemon.

This X user makes a great point:

He didn't just violate the FACE & Klan Acts, interfering with other people's 1st Amendment rights, he did it strictly because they were White.

So on top of it being a civil rights violation, it appears to be a hate crime, too.https://t.co/2IPBV4yIwl

Grok dove deeper into the specific charges Kelly and the other agitators could face, under federal law:

The FACE Act (18 U.S.C. § 248): The FACE Act, enacted in 1994 primarily to protect access to reproductive health clinics amid anti-abortion violence, explicitly extends to places of religious worship. Its purpose is to safeguard the free exercise of religion and access to health services from targeted disruptions. The DOJ's Civil Rights Division, which enforces the Act, could use it here as follows:

• Relevant Provisions:
  • The Act criminalizes anyone who "by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person" because that person is obtaining or providing "reproductive health services" or exercising their religious beliefs in a place of worship. "Place of religious worship" is defined broadly to include churches, synagogues, mosques, and similar venues.
  • Penalties vary: For non-violent offenses (e.g., obstruction without injury), it's a misdemeanor with up to 1 year in prison and fines. If bodily injury occurs or force/threats are used, it escalates to a felony with up to 10 years. Repeat offenses or those involving death can carry life imprisonment.
  • Civil remedies are also available, allowing the DOJ (or private parties) to seek injunctions, damages, or penalties to prevent future disruptions.
• Application to This Incident:
  • Prosecutors could argue the protesters' entry and actions constituted "physical obstruction" by blocking aisles, surrounding the altar or congregants, and preventing the service from proceeding normally—effectively interfering with worshippers' free exercise of religion under the First Amendment.
  • If evidence shows intimidation (e.g., aggressive chanting, confrontations, or implied threats tied to the ICE protest), it strengthens the case. Reports indicate the disruption caused alarm among attendees, including children, which could be framed as intentional interference.
  • Dhillon explicitly referenced the FACE Act in her January 18 X post, stating the DOJ is "investigating the potential violations of the federal FACE Act by these people desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshippers." She emphasized that houses of worship are "protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws," positioning this as a direct parallel to how the Act has been used against clinic blockades.
  • Precedents include DOJ prosecutions of disruptions at churches (e.g., anti-LGBTQ protests at religious events) or clinics, where even non-violent blockades led to convictions if they obstructed access or intimidated participants.
• Challenges and Counterarguments: Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (a Democrat) has pushed back, arguing the FACE Act is "inapplicable" here as the protest was non-violent and brief, not involving force or sustained obstruction. Critics view this as selective enforcement, noting the Act's historical use against conservative protesters (e.g., pro-life activists), while supporters argue the law is neutral and protects sacred spaces regardless of politics.

The KKK Act (Enforcement Act of 1871, Primarily 18 U.S.C. § 241 and 42 U.S.C. § 1985): The "KKK Act" refers to a series of Reconstruction-era laws passed in 1871 to combat the Ku Klux Klan's terrorism against Black Americans and Republicans in the post-Civil War South. It empowers federal intervention when state authorities fail to protect civil rights. The criminal provisions (under Title 18) allow the DOJ to prosecute conspiracies, while civil sections (under Title 42) enable lawsuits. The DOJ could invoke it here for broader civil rights violations tied to the disruption.

• Relevant Provisions:
  • 18 U.S.C. § 241 (Conspiracy Against Rights): Makes it a felony (up to 10 years in prison, or life if death results) for two or more people to conspire to "injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any person" in the free exercise of constitutional rights, such as freedom of religion or assembly. No state action is required—private conspiracies qualify.
  • 42 U.S.C. § 1985(3) (Conspiracy to Interfere with Civil Rights): Provides a civil cause of action for conspiracies motivated by class-based animus (e.g., against a religious group) to deprive rights. It allows the DOJ or victims to sue for damages or injunctions.
  • The Act was designed to federalize protections against mob violence targeting vulnerable groups, including religious minorities.
• Application to This Incident:
  • The DOJ could charge organizers and participants under § 241 if evidence shows a coordinated plan (e.g., via social media or group affiliations) to disrupt the service specifically to intimidate Christians or interfere with their worship rights. The protesters' focus on the pastor's ICE role could be portrayed as targeting the congregation's religious exercise as a proxy.
  • Dhillon mentioned the KKK Act in interviews, suggesting it could apply to "terrorize and violate the civil rights" of worshippers. Some reports indicate the DOJ is exploring charges against journalist Don Lemon (who livestreamed the event) under this Act, alleging his coverage amounted to participation in the conspiracy. This would require proving intent to deprive rights, not just reporting.
  • Historical use includes prosecutions of KKK cross-burnings, civil rights-era bombings, and modern hate crimes (e.g., the 2017 Charlottesville rally cases). In religious contexts, it has targeted disruptions motivated by bias, though animus here might be political rather than anti-Christian.
• Challenges and Counterarguments: Ellison and others argue the KKK Act is a "stretch," as it was meant for severe, racially motivated violence, not peaceful protests. Free speech defenses under the First Amendment could apply if the actions are deemed protected expression, but courts have ruled that entering private spaces to disrupt isn't shielded. Proving conspiracy requires strong evidence of planning and intent.

This evening, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed that arrests are coming within just hours.

Watch what she had to say here:

Arrests coming.

This weekend an anti-ICE mob targeted a church, emboldened by the reckless rhetoric from Minnesota's sanctuary politicians and the media.

The First Amendment protects speech and peaceful assembly – not rioting.

This administration is committed to upholding… pic.twitter.com/rBlFFiFe7U

Hopefully, this holds true and we will see arrests tonight...

Arrest William Kelly, arrest Don Lemon, and all the rest!

Great to hear! Lock them up! Protect the worshippers!
