Don Lemon released on Minnesota protest charges
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has been charged in connection with a protest at a church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on February 27 that 30 more people who Justice Department officials said disrupted Sunday services at a Minnesota church have been criminally charged in connection with the incident.
“Today, @thejusticedept released an indictment charging 30 more people who participated in the attack,” Bondi said in a post on X.
Several others, including two journalists, have been previously arrested in connection with the Jan. 18 demonstration at Cities Church in St. Paul.
A group of demonstrators invaded the church and claimed to be the Rev. David Easterwood, acting director of the St. Paul field office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The protests followed the January 7 shooting death of Renee Good, a 37-year-old American woman, by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis.
Federal agents have arrested 25 of the people named in the newly unsealed indictment, and “more arrests will be made throughout the day,” Bondi said.
“You cannot attack a house of worship,” Bondi posted. “If you do that, you cannot hide from us. We will find you, arrest you, and prosecute you.”
This is a developing story.
