On Sunday, Chicago’s first openly gay mayor, Lori Lightfoot, mounted a raid on a black South Side church for holding services in defiance of her coronavirus lockdown orders.
Lightfoot reportedly sent three marked squad cars and two unmarked cars full of officers to the Chicago Cornerstone Baptist Church in the South Side’s Woodlawn neighborhood. Woodlawn is just south of Hyde Park, the area in which the Obamas lived for a short time before Barack became president.
The pastor of the mostly black congregation, Courtney Lewis, reportedly shut and locked the doors and refused to allow the officers to gain entry to the building, Todd Starnes reported.
Pastor Lewis told Starnes that he felt like he was confronting “the Soviet-style KGB” as the officers pounded on his doors and demanded entry to shut the church down.
“Thankfully, our doors were locked as a normal safety precaution we take each service to protect our members from the escalating gun violence in Chicago,” Lewis said.
A sentry that is usually posted outside the sanctuary to monitor the street during service also reported seeing occupants of a dark car with tinted windows filming the incident through one opened window.
“All we are seeking is the same consideration and trust that is being tendered toward the liquor stores, abortion clinics, and Walmart,” Lewis told Starnes.

Only, if the people consent to allow her to steal an election... the People get the government they consent to. If the people don't consent they will revolt and remove the government and install one that more adequately does represent them.
America is near that door today... the door to reform is the door of revolution.
Well, you voted for a communist demoncrat queer so live with it!!

Clearly the Mayor does not understand the First Amendment...
No she or he/she understands it clearly... she simply doesn't agree with it and is ready to use force of arms to close down all religious activity... the question is what will the Christian Patriot in Chicago do about it... will they whimper and resign or will they take up arms and call on the PRESIDENT to enforce the LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES including the 1st. Amendment by mobilizing the IL National Guard and dispatching a Brigade from the 82d Div to form a joint task force to ensure that the public is able to exercise their 1st Amendment rights.
