Meet David Easterwood, The ICE Agent Pastor
by Red Hat Report
Meet David Easterwood, a pastor at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota and the acting Field Office Director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in the St. Paul field office.
Multiple sources, including the Associated Press and PBS News, report that his personal details online match across both roles. His appearance alongside DHS Secretary Kristi Noem at a press conference in October 2025 was posted on the CSPAN website, and videos of his sermons at Cities Church were available on YouTube.
This dual role led to a protest at his church on Sunday, January 18, 2026. Protesters chanted “Justice for Renee Good,” which is a reference to the recent fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by Jonathan Ross, an ICE agent under Pastor Easterwood’s chain of command.
