Don Lemon

Don Lemon, a former CNN anchor now working as an independent journalist, is facing charges related to his coverage of an anti-ICE protest at a church in St. Paul, Minnesota. The protest targeted Cities Church, alleging its pastor was working as an ICE agent. Lemon livestreamed the event, which disrupted a church service. He has been charged with conspiracy to deprive rights and interfering with religious freedoms. He pleaded not guilty to these charges. Lemon claims federal agents arrested him at his Los Angeles hotel despite his attorney offering his surrender. He has hired a federal attorney who resigned amid the Trump administration's immigration policies. His arrest has sparked concerns about press freedom, with Nancy Pelosi stating it is "under siege."
