NEW: Key Figure In Anti-ICE Church Storming Exposed As Frequent Rioter

One of the anti-ICE agitators who barged into a Twin Cities church during Sunday services has also been accused of harassing worshippers at Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s church in Washington, D.C., according to congregants and church leaders.

The disruption unfolded at Cities Church in St. Paul, where protesters interrupted worship, shouted “ICE out” and “Justice for Renee Good,” and accused a senior pastor of secretly running ICE’s local field office. Churchgoers looked on in shock as the protest derailed the service.

A man in the group was identified as William Kelly, who uses the handle “DaWokeFarmer” on TikTok. Kelly has more than 66,000 followers and regularly posts profanity-laced videos attacking ICE, President Donald Trump and administration officials.

A member of Christ Church in Washington, who asked not to be named, told Fox News Digital he immediately recognized Kelly.

“William Kelly is a regular outside our church, he screams incredibly vile and gross things at families, at children at people, he’s called my wife a c—, a whore and a Nazi breeder, all sorts of fun things,” the congregant said.

Church members said Kelly’s identity became widely known after months of “social media sleuthing.” They claim he was arrested by the U.S. Secret Service in December after an incident caught on camera in which he berated a man as a “Nazi” and demanded to know who he voted for. Kelly later said in a video that the Secret Service was “moving forward with disorderly conduct charges.” The Secret Service did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Members of Christ Church, where Pete Hegseth attends, said they simply want to worship without being harassed.

“It’s been a good education for my children to understand what type of people use these words,” the congregant said.

Don Lemon thanked the far-left maniac who was screaming in the faces of innocent Christians for his “service.”

“He probably first showed up in September or October, he’s been off and on since then,” the person added. “Since he was arrested by the Secret Service in early December, he’s been on a road trip, out and about.”

The congregant said D.C. police have helped keep people “physically safe” but have been unable to prosecute Kelly.

Christ Church associate pastor Joe Rigney said he has no doubt the same agitator who disrupted the Minnesota service has been tormenting worshippers in Washington.

“We’ve had regular protests at our D.C. services for the last few months, a combination of paid, professional agitators, as well as people who just show up periodically,” Rigney told Fox News Digital. “We became aware of William Kelly because through that, he was one of the regular protestors each week.”

“Kelly stood out because he was one of the more aggressive, angry, vile, profane protesters who would follow people to their car, yell at them, yell at children… profanity-laden attacks on normal church members,” Rigney said. “When we saw the video come out of Cities Church in St. Paul, our security team flagged it for me and said, ‘That’s the same guy.’”

Rigney said Kelly has not confronted Hegseth directly but that church leaders previously worked with security and law enforcement to identify him.

Justin Overbaugh, the deputy under secretary of war for intelligence and security, also identified Kelly as the man seen in the Minnesota church footage.

“Ahhh I see DaWokeFarmer a.k.a William Scott Kelly, is harassing parishioners in MN. We’ve missed him outside @ChristKirkDC stalking us after service,” Overbaugh wrote on X.

“This has been going on for months,” he added. “While MPD provides security, they take no action when the mob uses bullhorns to disrupt services, which is in clear violation of the law.”

Kelly did not immediately respond to a TikTok direct message.

Kelly’s TikTok account links to a GoFundMe page identifying him as William Kelly and seeking donations for what he calls a nationwide protest tour.

“Road Trip!! Help me travel the Nation scolding the gestapo for their bad decisions! No rest for demons! Our goal is to encourage people to stand up for what’s right across the nation! Stand up For Humanity,” the page states.

The fundraiser has pulled in more than $40,000.

Protests against ICE have intensified in Minnesota following the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent earlier this month. The Trump administration has said Good attempted to ram the agent with her vehicle when he opened fire.

Protesters allege that one of the Cities Church pastors, David Easterwood, also leads the local ICE field office overseeing enforcement actions they claim involved illegal arrests and excessive force. Easterwood was inside the church during Sunday’s disruption. The Justice Department has said it is investigating the incident.

Kelly addressed the church confrontation in a TikTok video Monday.

“Yesterday, I went into a church with [activist] Nekima Armstrong, and I protested these White supremacists. The pastor of the church is a f—ing ICE leader in the city. How can you be a f—ing pastor and be a f—ing agent? F— ‘em, they wanna come after me? F— ‘em,” Kelly said.

“How can they live so comfortably while the f—ing people from Somalia that are in this country legally, they have f—ing citizenship, can’t even go to their mosque and pray,” he continued. “How do they deserve any f—ing different? F— those f—ing Nazis. Come and get me, Pam Bondi, you f—ing traitorous b—-.”
