Several individuals, including journalist Don Lemon, are set to be arraigned in connection with a protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, where Pastor David Easterwood also served as an ICE official. Lemon faces charges of conspiracy against religious freedom and obstruction during worship, to which he has pleaded not guilty. Legal experts anticipate the charges may be dismissed due to constitutional flaws, as the charges are based on the FACE Act. Local activist Nekima Levy Armstrong, among others, is also involved in the case, citing faith as a motivation for the protest.
