About
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 Minnesota. The protest targeted Cities Church in St. Paul, where activists claimed the pastor was also working as an ICE agent, and was part of a broader movement against the Trump administration's immigration policies. Lemon livestreamed the event and is now charged with conspiracy to deprive rights and interfering with religious freedoms. He has pleaded not guilty. The case is significant because it involves a journalist facing legal repercussions for covering a protest against government policies. Lemon has hired a federal attorney who resigned from their position as acting US attorney for Minnesota over the White House's immigration policies.
