In a shocking display of what many are calling an outright assault on religious liberty and the First Amendment, Dallas police officers hauled away two devout Christian street preachers right in the heart of Texas—on public property, no less—for daring to spread the Gospel without bowing to arbitrary commands from law enforcement.
This outrageous incident, captured on video and now going viral, exposes the deepening rift in America where faithful Christians are targeted while radical agendas run rampant in Democrat-run cities like Dallas.
On December 18, 2025, outside the American Airlines Center during the Dallas Mavericks’ matchup against the Detroit Pistons, the two preachers, affiliated with the “Testimonies of God” ministry, were peacefully sharing messages of salvation.
The ministry was simply exercising its God-given and constitutionally protected rights on a public sidewalk when Dallas PD swooped in.
“Mavericks vs. Pistons, while the game was getting started and fans flooded to the arena, the Gospel went forth outside. We were arrested for preaching Christ on the public sidewalk, yet the Word of God was not hindered. Many souls heard. Many great Gospel conversations had, Bibles were given, and Christ was exalted,” the ministry wrote on Facebook.
Transcript from Dallas Express:
“You only, what, told me twice?” a preacher asked at the opening of the video. An officer then grabbed his arm.
“So what’s the charge, officer?” asked the man recording the video.
The officer replied it was “interference with public duties.”
“So this officer just arrested my fellow brother because he’s on public property and asking questions,” the man recording the video said.
The officer then brought the preacher to a group of other officers who cuffed him and sat him down beside another preacher.
“Why am I being arrested, officer?” the preacher asked.
“Because I told you to back off twice, and you didn’t do it,” the officer replied.
