St. Paul Mayor Kaohly Her’s recent comments on PBS NewsHour expose a glaring hypocrisy that’s got the pro-2A community buzzing—and rightfully so. While condemning protesters for storming a local church during an anti-ICE demonstration, Her pivoted to a conditional defense of sacred spaces, insisting that if activists demand respect for them, then federal ICE agents must play by the same rules. It’s a classic case of selective outrage: disrupt a house of worship with your mob tactics? Wrong, says the mayor. But let armed federal enforcers knock on sanctuary doors chasing criminal illegals? That’s an assault on the holy ground that demands retaliation. Her’s own words trail off in the clip—if there’s going to be a call for respecting sacred spaces, then our federal government and the agents—but the implication is crystal clear: no calm and order if Uncle Sam doesn’t back off.

This isn’t just municipal posturing; it’s a microcosm of the left’s escalating war on law enforcement that mirrors their assaults on the Second Amendment. Think about it—protesters illegally occupy a church to shield potential criminals from ICE? Crickets from Her on real accountability. Yet she threatens unrest if feds dare enforce immigration law in sacred zones. Translate that to gun owners: if a church becomes a no-go for ATF raids on illegal suppressors or stolen firearms stashed by gang members, does that mean armed citizens get a free pass to protest inside too? Of course not—the double standard is baked in. Her’s rhetoric echoes the 2020 riots, where sacred spaces like burning precincts and defunded police stations became off-limits to order, all while gun stores were looted and 2A rights hung by a thread.

For the 2A community, the implications are stark: this is precedent-setting nonsense that could bleed into our fight. If politicians like Her carve out sanctuary exemptions for federal agents based on vibes and victimhood, what’s stopping blue-city mayors from declaring churches, synagogues, and even gun clubs as no-raid zones for overreach on background checks or red-flag grabs? It’s a slippery slope where rule of law crumbles, and self-defense becomes the only sacred space left. Gun owners, take note—Her’s not just defending illegal immigrants; she’s auditioning for the next wave of anti-cop, anti-2A chaos. Stay vigilant, arm up, and vote accordingly.
