Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal authorities in Los Angeles following a Jan. 18 incident tied to an anti-ICE protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. During the service, demonstrators entered the church and alleged that one of its pastors also serves as the acting field director for the St. Paul ICE office. According to Lemon’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, he was arrested while reporting on the Grammy Awards. She emphasized that his involvement in Minnesota was strictly professional and consistent with his decades-long career in journalism. Calling the case an “unprecedented attack on the First Amendment,” Lowell said Lemon intends to aggressively challenge the charges in court.
