Fired CNN anchor Don Lemon may face a federal investigation for joining a mob of protesters who swarmed a Sunday church service in Minnesota.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon warned Lemon on Monday that his antics could land him in hot water, and said the independent journalist is 'on notice.'
Lemon sparked outrage over the weekend as he joined an anti-Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protest targeting a service in St Paul. He was seen in footage berating a pastor and telling him it was his 'First Amendment right' to storm the church.
Dhillon took to X to warn Lemon his justification was misguided, as she posted: 'A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest!
'It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws! Nor does the First Amendment protect your pseudo journalism of disrupting a prayer service... You are on notice!'
In another social media post, Dhillon said she was in touch with Attorney General Pam Bondi and the FBI, and said she would be 'all over' Lemon's actions in Minnesota.
'We are investigating potential criminal violations of federal law,' the prosecutor added.
Reached by phone on Monday, Lemon's husband Timothy Malone declined to comment and said he had 'nothing to say' on the possibility the former CNN anchor could face criminal charges.
Dhillon said her department is investigating whether Lemon and the anti-ICE mob violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
The legislation prohibits attempting to injure, intimidate or interfere with any person exercising their First Amendment right to religious freedom at a place of worship.

Blondi is doing great don’t criticize please. /s
That is the only reason I came here...
We have the control and still let them squander. When the lefties get in control they waste no time
This church was in ST. PAUL not Minneapolis. So, that begs the question of where were the St. Paul police? This is not Mayor Frey’s territory.
He’s black and he’s a celebrity so he won’t face any charges. Just Google Jussie Smolett if you don’t believe me.

🚨 BREAKING: The Minneapolis church stormed by Don Lemon and leftists RE-CONVENED that night
“MANY people from the area” also joined in to worship after the mob left.
THAT’S HOW IT’S DONE! Don Lemon hardest hit
Same church, different pews. My kids all went to UofM Twin Cities. My daughter’s freshman year was when the interstate bridge collapsed, right outside her dorm window. The university has classes on both sides, East Bank and West Bank. It’s not uncommon to be back and forth several classes a day. They are connected with walking bridges as well as the vehicle bridges.
by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction,

exercising or seeking to exercise the First Amendment right
of religious freedom at a place of religious worship; >>>> Strange but true it does mention places of worship. Strange to have this language in a pro abortion clinic protection lagislation.
“may face”
“investigating”
Elvis had it right.
“A little less conversation, a little more action please
All this aggravation ain’t satisfactionin’ me
A little more bite and a little less bark”
Perish the thought. Incontinence therapy.
feds are also looking at using the ku klux klan law to increase penalties...
right of free speech has limitations especially when it conflicts with someone else/s constitutional rights..example free press vs fair trial..

But ISRAEL ?!?!?! They'll move heaven and earth!
Literally all of their faces are in the video. “Investigate” my ass! Arrest them! You know, kinda like J6!
We are being played.
Nobody will go to jail.
Raise your hand if you think he’s worried.
I hope the Department of Justices squeeze that moron so hard the make Don Lemonaid out of him.
Note: Lemonaid not LemonAIDS.
Walz was vetted by the DNC, FBI, DOJ, CIA, NSA, RNC, and countless intelligence agencies, in his appointment to the candidacy of Vice President. If you think they didn't know all of this and much more in 2024, you're an idiot.
Omar F@$k'd up. She let the entire Somali Community extort money from the Treasury that only a club member can steal. The Somalis got greedy, didn't share, and were never supposed to be part of that club. It was supposed to be laundered with corrupt bureaucrats. Instead the Somalis started living like it was a contest to steal.
Yes, we are being played. There will be a few Patsies compensated for taking the fall. Omar may even be deported. Remember, she put all the blue cities at risk now. Inside the party they may well sign off on her deportation as a means of closure. A truce with dumb, lazy Republicans, DNC, DOJ, FBI, to just let this tire itself out.
Don Lemon needs a frog march. The Face Act is not some decore to adorn someone’s mantle piece.
Federal probe??? How about speeding it up a bit & do the right thing with a federal jail sentence. Nip this in the bud.
