The Department of Justice announced it will be charging internet personality and former CNN host Don Lemon after he crashed a church service in Minnesota, alongside anti-ICE rioters.
Harmeet Dhillon, who serves as U.S. Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division, said Monday that Lemon will be charged under the “Ku Klux Klan Act” of 1871, and that he already admitted to knowing “exactly what was going to happen inside that facility.”
Dhillon said Lemon’s claim of being a journalist who was covering a story will not “shield” him from the full force of the law.
The law makes it illegal for anyone to terrorize, intimidate, or harm individuals who are exercising their civil rights. It was originally used to protect newly freed slaves. It is often used against law enforcement, but can also be used against others to bring a conspiracy charge.
Dhillon mentioned how the Biden administration used the “Klan Act” to tack on conspiracy charges in cases where the “Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act” of 1994 was used against defendants.
“We will pursue charges in this case,” she told Benny Johnson. “In other cases, the Biden DOJ used the Klan Act conspiracy charges tacked on to the FACE act in the case of protests outside abortion clinics, to bring much longer sentences. So there are a number of tools available to us.”
Dhillon said the federal government will also investigate who funded this event, if there were any mail or wire services used to organize the rioters, and if anyone crossed state lines, which could lead to additional charges.

It’s FO time for Don Limone.
Don will be well liked in prison.
Again these monsters show us who they are.
That clown Lemon facing federal charges under the Ku Klux Klan Act was not on my bingo card for 2026.
Free beer tomorrow.
Yeah yeah.
Will believe it when they do it.
Time to cage the feral
Lemon is trying be relevant (Nick Shirley must be driving him nuts!) and being a fag, does irrational and illegal things without thinking. He was part and parcel of that church trespass/invasion, no “journalist”. FAFO, Donnie.
Being what he is, somehow I don’t think he’ll mind.
Good. Some people can only learn after receiving a hard, quick kick in the pocketbook! His reputation as a Newsman was already swirling toward the bottom.
Now, he will be best known for the unnecessary trouble he tends to bring.
You better believe Don Lemon looked around high and low before he found a big church that was mostly a white church.
As successful as he has been, Don still walks around with a ‘Reparations’ chip on his shoulder.
This is CNN.
I’m glad that this is happening but I don’t like this policy of telling the press what is coming before it happens. Its not professional and has burned Bondi in the past with things like the Epstein files. If the DOJ is going to charge someone or do something, just do it. Issue a press release at the time. No need to try to get some extra PR with these type of press releases.
Yep, the pile of things “we’re going to do” is a mile high now, but the pile of things that have actually been done? Well, I think there was one low-level guy no one ever heard of who was actually charged with something a year or so ago, but that’s it.
Harmeet Dhillon for AG?
When newscasters make themselves part of the news, they are no longer unbiased and incapable of reporting. They should be fired and find a job not requiring them to withhold their opinions.

My honey-do list is shorter than Blondi’s.
Don Lemon is a serial sex abuser, he should have been in prison for that alone
