Condemning the violent disruption of a religious worship service at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, reaffirming the constitutional right to religious freedom, and commending the Department of Justice for its prompt investigation.
H.Res. 1026 is a resolution condemning a January 18, 2026 disruption of a worship service at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, where protesters allegedly entered the sanctuary, shouted over clergy, physically obstructed the service, and intimidated worshipers. The resolution reaffirms the constitutional right to religious freedom under the First Amendment and asserts that such disruptions may violate the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, a federal law that prohibits using force or intimidation to interfere with religious worship. The resolution specifically condemns media figure Don Lemon for participating in the disruption and praises the Department of Justice for investigating the incident. No funding or implementation timeline is involved, as this is a symbolic resolution expressing congressional sentiment rather than creating new law or appropriating funds.
