Yes, Minnesota State Representative Leigh Finke (often referred to as Leah or Leigh Finke) did call for more such actions. Following an incident where anti-ICE protesters disrupted a church service at Cities Church in St. Paul (where a local ICE office leader also serves as pastor), Finke posted on Facebook praising the disruption as "nonviolent resistance" that is "essential." She explicitly stated that these actions "must continue" until ICE is removed from the state, the current administration is out of the White House, and broader goals of dignity for immigrants are met. Multiple conservative-leaning outlets (e.g., Alpha News, The Gateway Pundit) reported on this in January 2026, framing it as her encouraging more church-targeted anti-ICE protests. The reports quote her directly from the Facebook post, and the phrasing has been widely shared as a call for escalation of similar disruptions. No mainstream counter-reports appear to dispute the quote or context.
