Protesters interrupt Noem hearing with Exorcist line: ‘The power of Christ compels you!’
Protesters briefly interrupted the homeland security secretary, Kristi Noem, during a Capitol Hill hearing on Thursday, evoking a quote from the film The Exorcist.
As Noem delivered her opening remarks before the House committee on homeland security, two protesters disrupted the session, with one yelling: “Stop ICE raids! The power of Christ compels you! End deportations, the power of Christ compels you!”

In the New Testament, there’s plenty of pro immigrant quotes. It’s harder to find the anti-immigrant sentiment (unless you expand to the whole Bible).
Even then, caring for foreigners is pretty much all over the place.
Yes, agreed.
Even in the old testament.
Exodus 22:21
Based, and thank you.
....based?
I thought that line was from Austin Powers
