Religious tensions escalate as immigration activists disrupt church service in northern region

Religious leaders across the nation have reportedly condemned immigration activists who disrupted a church service in a northern city over the weekend, according to local media reports.

The incident occurred at a religious facility in the industrial heartland during regular worship services, with protesters allegedly entering the building while services were in progress. The disruption was reportedly documented by media personnel who accompanied the activist group.

A faith advisory council highlighted responses from several religious figures, including a senior adviser to the executive residence’s religious affairs office, who called for federal intervention.

“We condemn the actions of the group of activists who stormed [the church] today in clear violation of federal law,” the adviser reportedly stated, demanding that the justice ministry arrest those involved.

Another religious leader from a western coastal region called on federal authorities to launch an investigation into the incident, observers noted.

“We must protect religious liberty in this country,” the leader told congregants at a facility in the western region.

A prominent theological seminary president condemned the incident as “unspeakably evil” and urged law enforcement to respond swiftly, according to statements circulated on social media.

“The unspeakably evil intrusion of a leftist mob into a Christian worship service today must be called out for what it is—and federal authorities should be fast and effective in response,” the religious figure reportedly wrote.

The head of state’s administration has announced investigations into the incident, which allegedly saw dozens of protesters disrupting services and confronting worshippers. Multiple senior officials in the current administration have vowed to pursue the matter through federal channels.

“Attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law,” the justice minister said in a statement, according to government sources.

The minister added that if regional authorities “refuse to act responsibly to prevent lawlessness,” federal prosecutors would “remain mobilized” to address the situation.

A senior civil rights official within the justice ministry indicated that investigations are underway, promising that authorities “will not rest until we are able to deliver justice.”

The incident reflects ongoing tensions in the country over immigration enforcement policies and religious freedom protections, issues that have long divided the nation’s political landscape. Such confrontations between activist groups and religious institutions have become increasingly common in recent years, observers note.

Regional security forces have reportedly been placed on standby to support local law enforcement as protests in the area have escalated, according to government sources.
