A Louisiana pastor welcomed more than 300 people into his church on Tuesday night, despite an order from Gov. John Bel Edwards to limit gatherings to no more than 50.
Police broke up the service and told the pastor, Tony Spell, that the National Guard would break up any further transgressions against the ban. Spell responded that he thought the ban was "politically motivated" and that it was "not a concern" to his congregation.
"We hold our religious rights dear, and we are going to assemble no matter what someone says," he said.
