Arizona Attorney General’s Office sends cease and desist letter to church that hosted Trump rally

TUCSON, Ariz. (KOLD News 13) - Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich’s office sent cease and desist letters to Clean Air EXP and Phoenix-based Dream City Church over claims their purification systems could neutralize COVID-19.

The cease and desist letter addressed to Dream City Church’s senior pastor reads, “The Arizona Attorney General’s Office is aware of public representations you made recently regarding Dream City Church installing an air filtration system purchased from Clean Air EXP. In particular, this letter concerns your statements that the filtration system ‘kills 99% of COVID within 10 minutes’ and that ‘when you come into (the church’s) auditorium, 99% of COVID is gone.’ ‘So you know when you come down here, you’ll be safe and protected.’”

This comes after Dream City Church rented out its 3,000-seat sanctuary that was used to host a rally for President Donald Trump.

2. Did we ever find out how many people attended the rally?

3. Correct me if I'm wrong,

but isn't there something about a separation of church and state?

6. It seems like a cloudy issue regarding this church.

“Because Dream City rents its facility for public events not related to church functions, the church was placed notice that misrepresentations and false promises related to the safety of church facilities may violate the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act,” Brnovich said.
