    Broadview Police Chief Thomas Mills, whose department helped facilitate the phone call, said that he was “trying to figure out” in discussions with Mayor Katrina Thompson and an attorney if a federal agency could legally ban religious gatherings on land owned by the village. Religious groups previously have been allowed to practice outside the facility, he said.



    “I’m dumbfounded,” the police chief told Block Club. “Every time I talk with [federal officials], it feels like their rules keep changing. We don’t really know what’s happening, I’m sorry I can’t say more. We just want to keep people safe and let them peacefully protest without getting hurt.”

    This seems like a pretty open and shut first amendment violation.

    And a perfect metaphor for this administration.

    History has taught us you can beat up priests, you just need to decry them as heretics.

    The White House already told the fucking POPE he doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to ministering to those held, so you think they won't stomp a guy in a dog collar?
