Federal law enforcement agents visited the home of Georgia Fort, an activist connected to a recent protest at a Minnesota church that also involved former CNN host Don Lemon, according to video and social media posts circulating online. The visit marks another step in a broader federal investigation into the incident, which authorities say involved unlawful disruption of a religious service.
Video from the encounter shows agents arriving at Fort’s residence and attempting to serve a warrant. Fort appeared surprised by the visit and questioned the agents’ presence, expressing concern about multiple law enforcement vehicles in her neighborhood and the fact that children were inside the home. She repeatedly asked to see the warrant and sought clarification about its legal authority.
During the exchange, Fort challenged whether the document presented required her to open the door, stating that she believed it was not a judicial warrant. Agents instructed her to put her phone away as they continued the interaction. The video does not show any arrest being made at that time, and authorities have not publicly detailed the specific purpose of the warrant.
The visit follows heightened scrutiny surrounding the protest at the church, where demonstrators interrupted services in opposition to federal immigration enforcement. Federal officials have emphasized that while peaceful protest is protected under the First Amendment, entering private property or disrupting religious worship may violate federal law.
The Justice Department has not released additional information about potential charges or next steps in the investigation. Legal experts note that serving warrants and conducting follow-up inquiries are common parts of federal investigations, and individuals contacted by agents are not necessarily charged with a crime. The case remains ongoing as authorities continue to review the events surrounding the protest.
