Don Lemon criticizes Minnesota church incident involving anti-ICE protesters

The DOJ probes Don Lemon and protesters after a Minnesota church service was disrupted by anti-ICE activists accusing a pastor of ICE ties following a recent fatal shooting.

  • The U.S. Department of Justice opened a review of Don Lemon's role in a Sunday protest disrupting services at Cities Church, St. Paul, Minnesota, examining possible civil rights violations.
  • Protesters disrupted a Sunday morning service at Cities Church targeting a pastor they alleged worked for ICE, spurred by outrage over Renee Nicole Good's death and concerns about ICE operations.
  • Footage shows Don Lemon livestreaming while strategizing with his team and calling the disruption a planned 'surprise operation,' while critics and DOJ officials argue his 'journalism' claims mask coordinated action.
  • Political leaders and influencers weighed in, calling for arrests and accountability as Harmeet Dhillon announced the DOJ will pursue charges against the protesters, with President Donald Trump and Elon Musk condemning the protest.
  • Legal advisers note invoking the Ku Klux Klan Act and FACE Act against protesters and reporters would be rare, as federal prosecutors consider the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, potentially setting precedent.
