Press conference in support of Nekima Levy Armstrong and others arrested for protest at Mpls church

Armstrong is very well known in the Twin Cities for racial justice work. Her Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nekima_Levy_Armstrong
Takeaways from the conference. The feds had no arrest warrant when they detained the protestors.
They were arrested under a law meant to protect abortion clinics.
Nekima Levy Armstrong and Chauntyll Louisa Allen were released from custody. (Turns out the feds appealed the release, so they are still being detained.)
