Former CNN anchor Don Lemon and an independent Minnesota journalist, Georgia Fort, were among four people arrested by federal agents in connection to an anti-ICE protest at a church in Minnesota.
Journalists, press advocates and Democratic lawmakers accused the Trump administration of attempting to intimidate independent accountability reporting.
The actual criminal charges have not been unsealed. Protesters interrupted a religious service at the church, where a A U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement official serves as a pastor.

From Slate:
Whatever protesters did or didnt do, Lemon was not demonstrating; he identified himself as a journalist and was clear he was documenting the protest, not participating in it. These arrests came after the Trump Department of Justices original criminal complaint against Lemon was rejected because a federal judgea man who was a former clerk for conservative icon Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and a George W. Bush appointeefound there was no probable cause to arrest him.
