US EditionDon Lemon after release: ‘I will not stop now, I will not stop ever’
Don Lemon faces conspiracy charges for allegedly joining an anti-ICE protest inside a Minnesota church and was released on his own recognizance, pledging to challenge the case.
- Following his live coverage of a church protest, Lemon was arrested overnight in Los Angeles after federal agents detained him at a protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
- Demonstrators entered the church during a service to protest pastor David Easterwood, reportedly acting director of the ICE field office in St. Paul, amid protests intensified after federal agents shot and killed two people this month.
- The DOJ charges Lemon with conspiracy to deprive congregants of their right to worship, with prosecutors alleging `knowingly joined a mob to storm into a church and terrorize people engaged in worship`.
- A judge released Lemon on a no-money bond, cleared him for his scheduled trip to France in June, and barred contact with victims, witnesses, or other defendants, stating `he must comply with restrictions`.
- Lowell said Lemon's work was `constitutionally protected in Minneapolis` and three others, including Georgia Fort, were also arrested, with Fort livestreaming a masked agent at her door.
