The Issue: Anti-ICE protesters, joined by Don Lemon, interrupting a church service in Minneapolis.

Storming a church during worship doesn’t advance any policy goal — it destroys credibility (“For heaven sake,” Jan. 19).

Today’s protests too often prioritize visibility over consequence. When activists disrupt worship, block enforcement, or behave like a mob, the public stops debating policy and starts questioning order. That shift doesn’t help reform — it hurts the very causes being claimed. Real change requires principled action, not spectacle.

Everyone that intimidated the worshippers at the St. Paul church should be in jail. Attorney General Pam Bondi, throw the book at them and make it public.

How low can protesters go in America these days? What will the next group do to embarrass and diminish life in America?

Why do rioters, lawbreakers, sandwich throwers and flag burners get to be considered “peaceful” protestors? Why is law enforcement these days so afraid to apprehend and incarcerate these thugs?

We have just come through perhaps one of the most emblematic weekends of the new radicalized, Trump-deranged, hard left.

We had a mob bursting into a church, terrorizing parishioners, including a child seen cowering in his parents arms. Don Lemon was part of the mob in person, the rest of the left-wing media in spirit. The anti-ICE mob believed a pastor at the church to be an ICE supervisor.

In an outright case of mistaken identity, three young tech workers were accosted for being white males in Minneapolis without factory-printed anti-ICE signs in their possession per the mob charter. Talk about “Where are your papers?”

The storming of a church in St. Paul by a fanatical band of crazies is further proof that Minnesota is contaminated with not only those who would ravage a city in defense of assorted thieves stealing from public money, but also those thumbing their noses at the Constitution.

This disrespectful horde should be punished for their intrusion at a religious function.

The Issue: The ongoing strike by 15,000 New York City nurses against several private hospitals.

The nurses’ strike seems to have at least indirectly led to patient deaths due to the shortage of experienced nurses; this is precisely why it was unethical of them to strike (“Nurses & hospital talks set to resume,” Jan. 22).

My physician colleagues and I have plenty of things we are unhappy with, but we would never strike. Who would properly take care of our patients? The nurses have unreasonable demands that would bankrupt the hospitals.

Striking and letting patients die unnecessarily is shameful, not something that should be drawing the support of political leaders.

Fifteen thousand nurses are on strike for us. Their demands are for safer hospitals, more nurses and better health care. If Montefiore, Mt. Sinai, and Presbyterian met their demands, all New Yorkers would benefit.

If the hospital administrators knew how much we care about the well-being of these nurses, I think they would return to the bargaining table and negotiate in good faith.

We can show our support just like we did during the pandemic. Every night, everyone should open their windows or doors and bang loudly on pots and pans. We need to let these brave health-care workers know we are on their side.
