Don Lemon<\/strong><\/a> was arrested Thursday night by federal agents in Los Angeles — this after the former CNN anchor brushed the law after a Minnesota church protest.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

Lemon was charged with violating a federal law by impeding people’s right to worship during an anti-ICE protest at Cities Church in Minneapolis on January 18, according to The New York Times<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

In a statement Friday, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi<\/strong><\/a> says … “At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Don’s lawyer, Abbe Lowell<\/strong>, issued a statement condemning the arrest and calling it a distraction by the Trump<\/strong><\/a> administration from investigating the killings of Renee Good<\/strong><\/a> and Alex Pretti<\/strong><\/a> at the hands of federal immigration enforcement agents in Minneapolis.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Lowell says Lemon was simply exercising his First Amendment right as a reporter to document the church demonstration, shining a light on the truth and holding those in power accountable.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

We told you all about it — the federal government sought to charge<\/strong><\/a> 8 people following the demonstration at Cities Church, including Lemon … but a magistrate judge only approved charges against only 3 people — not including Lemon. A federal appeals court also denied a petition<\/strong><\/a> by the Justice Department to issue the additional warrants.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
