A radical anti-ICE agitator who disrupted a Minnesota church service on Sunday has been identified as a serial harasser who has spent months targeting the church of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
The agitator, William Kelly—known online as "DaWokeFarmer" to his 66,000 TikTok followers—reportedly led a group that stormed Cities Church in St. Paul. The mob shouted profanities and demanded "Justice for Renee Good," mistakenly accusing a local pastor of being a federal ICE director.
Congregants at Christ Church in Washington, D.C., where Hegseth worships, immediately recognized Kelly from his "vile" weekly protests. Members allege Kelly has spent months berating families and children with vulgar slurs, calling women "Nazis" and "whores" as they enter the sanctuary.
A History of Aggression and Arrests
Kelly’s harassment reached a peak in December 2025 when he was arrested by the United States Secret Service outside the D.C. church. The "caught-on-camera" incident showed Kelly following parishioners to their cars and screaming profanities at them.
He is currently facing disorderly conduct charges related to that arrest. Despite the legal heat, Kelly reportedly went on a "road trip" after his release, which led him to the Twin Cities for the latest church disruption.
Associate Pastor Joe Rigney of Christ Church confirmed Kelly’s identity, noting that his security team flagged the Minnesota video instantly. Rigney described Kelly as one of the most "aggressive and vile" protesters the D.C. congregation has ever encountered.
Calls for Federal Action
The DOJ is being urged to "come down hard" on the anti-ICE mob following the St. Paul incident. Legal experts, including Alina Habba, suggest that disrupting a religious service and harassing families in this manner violates multiple federal and local laws.
While the METRO PD in D.C. has provided physical security, parishioners expressed frustration that Kelly was allowed to continue his "bullhorn" attacks for six months. Justin Overbaugh, Deputy Under Secretary of War, noted that such disruptions are a clear violation of the law.
