BREAKING: Don Lemon Arrested By Feds In LA Over Minnesota Church Protest
1 hour ago
Former CNN journalist Don Lemon has been arrested by federal agents in Los Angeles in connection with a church protest in Minnesota, his attorney confirmed Friday.
The protest, which took place on January 18 in St. Paul, disrupted a church service and involved demonstrators opposing immigration enforcement. Lemon was on-site covering the demonstration when the incident occurred.
It is currently unclear what charges, if any, Lemon is facing. A magistrate judge had previously rejected prosecutors’ initial attempt to charge him in the case.
Lemon’s attorney said he plans to "fight any charges vigorously and thoroughly in court." Lemon, who has been based in Los Angeles while covering events nationwide, was taken into custody without incident.
Federal authorities have not provided further comment, and the investigation remains ongoing.
