Feds Nab Minneapolis Prosecutor’s Top Aide Exposed By Daily Wire For Role In Anti-ICE Church Mob

A top aide in the Minneapolis prosecutor’s office, previously exposed by The Daily Wire for his alleged participation in an anti-ICE protest that stormed a church in St. Paul, has been arrested.

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Friday that federal authorities arrested Jamael Lundy, along with three others, including ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon, “in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.”

The Daily Wire previously spotted Lundy in footage taken of the protest.

Lundy works as an intergovernmental affairs coordinator for Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, is married to St. Paul City Council member Anika Bowie, and is currently campaigning for a seat in the state legislature as a Democrat, according to his campaign website.

Lundy’s role in Moriarty’s office involves communicating with the federal government. He has done so in an existing investigation into Moriarty, boasting that she takes into account a suspect’s “racial identity” when making charging decisions.

Lemon was also seen interviewing Lundy during the recent protest.

“People are fighting back and organizing, in large part without support from officials, local officials. There are some people who want to be involved, local officials, but they’re doing this all on their own, this is all grassroots,” Lemon said. Pulling a member of the crowd out at random, he asked: “Without giving out what the operation is, why are you out here?”

The man, who turned out to be Lundy, answered: “I’m here to support our community activists. I’m currently a candidate for Minnesota State Senate District 65. I feel like it’s important if you’re going to be representing people in office, that you’re out here with the people as well.”

Lemon seemingly ignored the remark and responded: “The people are organizing on their own, even without representatives or officials, and hoping that everyone gets involved. This is grassroots.”

Lundy replied, “We all we got. I’m actually married to an elected official; I work closely with elected officials, but direct action from the community, certainly within the lines of the law, is so important to show that we have one voice.”

Once inside the church, a man who appeared to be Lundy was seen raising his fist and chanting the name of the pastor the group accused of being an ICE agent, followed by “OUT, OUT,” as well as “Who shut this down? We shut this down.”

Lundy previously worked for Minnesota House Rep. Carlos Mariani, the Democratic House Caucus Campaign, Congresswoman Betty McCollum, and the state teachers union, according to his campaign website.

He also started “Black Operations Public Relations LLC,” and runs a company called “Homes for Homies Property Management LLC,” that provides “affordable housing for those struggling with credit and criminal backgrounds.”

The Homes for Homies website says: “He founded this company with the vision of improving housing access to all, but specifically to those with low income, criminal backgrounds, and people of color. Since it’s [sic] founding, home for homies [sic] has grown from a property management company with a goal of removing barriers to housing to a real estate development company centered around expanding housing affordability through expanding housing supply. As Home for Homies continues to expand, its founding values of making profit through making a difference remains [sic].”

Lundy suggests that his “profit” comes from federal Section 8 funds. On social media, he seemed to imply that he would rent homes to illegal immigrants by stating he was “open to all residents of all statuses.”

“It’s become increasingly apparent how much folks are hurting from the economic impact of the lawless federal occupation of the Twin Cities and as a result, I’m seeing the longest vacancy in my tenure as a landlord. For that reason, I am intentionally reducing the price by $300 a month for this 3/4 bedroom listing on the East Side of Saint Paul, far below the normal price I set based off of section 8 guidance. So if your [sic] looking for a deeply affordable 3-4 bedroom unit, without credit or criminal background barriers, open to all residents of all statuses, please contact me via DM,” Lundy wrote in a Facebook post.
