- Former CNN journalist Don Lemon was arrested in connection with a protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
- The protest occurred on Jan. 18, where anti-ICE demonstrators disrupted a service, alleging a pastor was linked to ICE.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi stated Lemon and three others were arrested 'at her direction' for the 'coordinated attack' on the church.
- Lemon's attorney, Abbe Lowell, claims the arrest is an 'unprecedented attack on the First Amendment' and vows to fight the charges.
- Lowell criticized the Trump Justice Department for focusing on Lemon's case instead of investigating federal agents involved in protester deaths.
- A magistrate judge had previously rejected charges against Lemon, which reportedly enraged Bondi.
