Don Lemon Arrested During Protest at Minnesota Church

Former cable news anchor Don Lemon was arrested on Thursday night in Los Angeles while covering the Grammy Awards, with a grand jury reportedly empaneled the same day. His attorney, Abbe Lowell, stated that the arrest was an attack on the First Amendment, asserting that Lemon’s work as a journalist is constitutionally protected. The Justice Department is pursuing charges related to an anti-ICE protest in Minnesota, where several demonstrators, including Lemon, have been implicated. Lowell criticized the focus on Lemon rather than the federal agents involved in a recent controversial incident, indicating that Lemon will vigorously defend against the charges.
