At least one event has now been approved for the Minnesota State Capitol on Sunday: a "Sunday Church Service" led by the Bloomington conservative activist behind last week's "Storm the Capitol" rally.
The state Department of Administration approved permits this week for a Saturday "Freedom Fest" event and Sunday's smaller "Church Service" gathering, according to records obtained by the Star Tribune.
The applicant for both events, Becky Strohmeier, leads the Hold the Line MN group that attracted 500 people to the Jan. 6 Storm the Capitol rally now under investigation by state law enforcement. Strohmeier's group also stages weekly rallies and the Capitol and has protested outside the homes of Gov. Tim Walz and other elected officials.
State and federal law enforcement are gearing up for a weekend slate of rallies in Minnesota and across the country in the lead-up to the Jan. 20 presidential inauguration. Earlier this week, an FBI alert surfaced that warned of credible threats of violence this Sunday aimed at Minnesota and Michigan's state capitols by the Boogaloo Bois extremist group.
