US ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon to enter plea in Minnesota ICE protest case
AI Summary
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon is scheduled to appear in federal court in St. Paul, Minnesota on Friday to enter a plea related to his coverage of an immigration protest. The charges stem from a livestreamed protest at Cities Church in St. Paul on January 18, which disrupted a church service and opposed then-President Trump's immigration policies. Lemon is charged with conspiring to deprive others of their civil rights and violating a law prohibiting obstruction of access to houses of worship. The case has drawn criticism, with Lemon's lawyer arguing it infringes on First Amendment rights. The Trump administration praised the charges, while the Attorney General emphasized the importance of protecting the right to worship freely.
