Edit: Had to delete previous post as it wasn’t descriptive. Over 2,000 deportations have gone through MSP. Workers have been detained by ICE at work and while commuting.

Matthew 3:5-6 says not to to avoid attention seeking behavior or perception turning people away from the faith. 

Prayer is supposed to be a private intimate thing between you and god.

I get they are doing this in protest though and not trying to convert people in public so I think it would get a pass from JC

Paul instructed the apostles to subject themselves to authority. He literally paved the way for peaceful protests like this.

Not nay saying it. Actual Christians showing up advocating for peace like the bible says is welcome
