## Summary

**Protecting the right to worship free from intimidation** is the resolution's main aim. It condemns the violent disruption of a January 18, 2026 worship service at Cities Church in St. Paul and says public figures who join or amplify such acts undermine religious freedom and the rule of law. - Worshippers and faith communities: Says houses of worship hold a uniquely protected place under federal law and that congregants must be able to worship without intimidation, coercion, or violence. - Public figures and media: Specifically condemns Don Lemon for joining the disruption and finds that nationally recognized figures who take part in such acts lend legitimacy to unlawful conduct. - Federal, state, and local authorities: Notes the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act makes force or obstruction unlawful, commends the Department of Justice for its prompt investigation, and urges authorities to enforce relevant civil rights laws so people can worship safely.
