US EditionDon Lemon criticizes Minnesota church incident involving anti-ICE protesters
Anti-ICE protesters accused a pastor of collaborating with federal immigration agents during a service, while police did not intervene and worshippers fled the church, officials said.
- On Monday, Don Lemon, independent journalist and former CNN anchor, posted a video to his YouTube channel reporting from a protest at the Cities Church in St. Paul and addressed his nearly 2 million followers.
- The protest was organized after community members discovered that one pastor, David Easterwood, also served as acting St. Paul field director of ICE, and protesters chanted 'ICE out' demanding justice for Renee Good.
- On Sunday, Nicki Minaj attacked Lemon, calling him 'DON 'C--K SUCKIN' LEMON' and demanding he be jailed, while Lemon replied, 'Nicki Minaj, get a life, stop being a pick-me.'
- The exchange prompted calls for a consumer boycott and legal threats as Lemon urged Black and gay communities not to buy Minaj's music, while Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said the Justice Department will pursue charges against Lemon.
- This dispute arrives amid Minaj's broader shift toward the political right in recent months, praising President Donald Trump and appearing at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest, while her ties to Kevin Petty and Jelani Maraj fuel controversy.
