How do you think this would be perceived if they had stormed a mosque or a synagogue instead?
The FBI and MN state police would be arresting everyone in the contact lists of the phones of the people that went in

What exactly constitutes an act of terrorism? Would this event fall under the jurisdiction of the Federal judiciary? Were laws broken? What is the penalty for the criminals that invaded a place of worship? Why are these people not arrested and awaiting sentencing?

Violence is a key component. If they had set off a bomb or shot some folks this could easily have been determined to be a terrorist act.

Ellison is one of those guys who thinks the name of a law like Affordable Healthcare or Inflation Reduction is not only an accurate representation of the law but the only take on a law. There are civil remedies listed as well but add too many characters to post. A terrorist act is not explicitly required in the law, but there are some similarities in the terminology used in the FACE Act.

18 U.S. Code § 248 - Freedom of access to clinic entrances
(a) Prohibited Activities.—Whoever—
(1) by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person because that person is or has been, or in order to intimidate such person or any other person or any class of persons from, obtaining or providing reproductive health services;
(2) by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, intimidates or interferes with or attempts to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person lawfully exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship; or
(3) intentionally damages or destroys the property of a facility, or attempts to do so, because such facility provides reproductive health services, or intentionally damages or destroys the property of a place of religious worship,
shall be subject to the penalties provided in subsection (b) and the civil remedies provided in subsection (c), except that a parent or legal guardian of a minor shall not be subject to any penalties or civil remedies under this section for such activities insofar as they are directed exclusively at that minor.
(b) Penalties.—Whoever violates this section shall—
(1) in the case of a first offense, be fined in accordance with this title, or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and
(2) in the case of a second or subsequent offense after a prior conviction under this section, be fined in accordance with this title, or imprisoned not more than 3 years, or both;
except that for an offense involving exclusively a nonviolent physical obstruction, the fine shall be not more than $10,000 and the length of imprisonment shall be not more than six months, or both, for the first offense; and the fine shall, notwithstanding section 3571, be not more than $25,000 and the length of imprisonment shall be not more than 18 months, or both, for a subsequent offense; and except that if bodily injury results, the length of imprisonment shall be not more than 10 years, and if death results, it shall be for any term of years or for life…

Webster
quote:
the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion (terror: violence or the threat of violence used as a weapon of intimidation or coercion)
Federal Law 18 U.S. Code § 2331 - Definitions (there are also specific sections on harboring, providing material support, or financing terrorist or terrorism)
quote:
5) the term “domestic terrorism” means activities that—
(A) involve acts dangerous to human life that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any State;
(B) appear to be intended—
(i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;
(ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or
(iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping; and
(C) occur primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States; and
Those who went into the church may not specifically be considered committing a domestic act of terrorism for their church actions alone as I am not sure if acts dangerous to human life occurred, but their actions break the federal FACE Act law quoted above (especially with how the law has been used against pro-life demonstrators).
The mob wokesters have committed numerous acts of domestic terrorism including driving cars at people/officers, and 2 or 3 people who went into the church are very likely providing material support to them. That is a different investigation than the one for violating the FACE Act.

At least they aren’t driving cars at law enforcement, obstructing them, disrupting church services to intimidate the church members, and so on, but it’s still such an empty gesture.

This is another example of the state of Minnesota today. An elected state representative who is a man pretending to be a woman calling on more church takeovers and obstruction/insurrection.
