Nekima Levy Armstrong

Nekima Levy Armstrong is a US civil rights lawyer and activist. She has recently become newsworthy due to her involvement in protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations, specifically one that disrupted a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota. Armstrong was arrested along with others for their role in the protest, which targeted a pastor suspected of working as an ICE agent. Following her arrest, the White House shared a digitally altered image of Armstrong, seemingly to depict her in a negative light, sparking controversy and accusations of eroding public trust. This incident has also drawn attention to the broader issue of ICE operations in Minnesota and the pressure on employers to take action against them. Armstrong's activism and the subsequent events have made her a central figure in discussions about immigration policy, protest tactics, and the use of manipulated media.
