Transcript Summary

Former CNN anchor and current independent journalist Don Lemon was arrested by federal agents in Los Angeles (at a Beverly Hills hotel, where he was covering the Grammy Awards) on the night of January 29, 2026 (around or after 11 p.m. local time, into early January 30).

The arrest relates to his presence and filming during a January 18, 2026, anti-ICE protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Protesters disrupted a Sunday service, alleging one pastor (David Easterwood) worked as an acting ICE field office director in St. Paul; they chanted and interrupted worship.

Lemon, who had advance knowledge of the event and livestreamed/YouTubed from inside the church (interviewing protesters and some worshipers while claiming journalistic intent), is charged federally with:

• Conspiracy to deprive others of rights (under 18 USC 241).

• Violating the FACE Act (Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, 18 USC 248), which prohibits using force, threats, or intimidation to interfere with religious exercise or First Amendment rights at places of worship (up to 5+ years if convicted, depending on specifics).

Three others were arrested in connection: protesters Trahern Jeen Crews and Jamael Lydell Lundy, and independent journalist Georgia Fort (who also filmed).

Initial DOJ attempts for arrest warrants were denied by a magistrate judge, a district judge (including the chief judge), and appellate judges in the Eighth Circuit, citing insufficient evidence of criminal conduct by Lemon (and his producer). Authorities then proceeded via grand jury indictment, reviving the case.

Lemon's attorney (Abbe Lowell) stated he will fight the charges vigorously. He was expected to appear in federal court in Los Angeles on January 30, 2026, with potential transfer to Minnesota (district of alleged offense) for further proceedings.

The incident has sparked debate over press freedoms, double standards in protest coverage, and application of the FACE Act (typically used for clinic protests but including houses of worship). Three other protesters had been arrested earlier.

The LAW jailed that fairy ass-hole. Trump had nothing to do with it. If the queer sob wants to place blame he can look in the mirror.

In other news, Don Lemon had no comment as he excitedly consolidated as much soap as he could find to ensure he always had a bar to drop in the shower

[Sequoyah101]

I hope his attorney, Lowell, fights the charges to Lennon’s very last dime!

I hope his attorney, Lowell, fights the charges to Lennon’s very last dime!

"He might beat the rap, but he won't beat the ride," as cops like to say.

I wonder if he has enough layers of protection, to walk?

[sjmjax]

I hope so as well.

Unfortunately, liberal lemmings will eagerly replace it by a “ go fund me” campaign.

I wonder if he has enough layers of protection, to walk?

Doesn't matter all that much. The process is the punishment, and he is now in the process.

Is it Federal Pound Me In The Ass Prison ?

Lemon might enjoy that.

[Sequoyah101]

Sadly, you are probably right.

Thank you, Jesus.

Did the original two Ghettopotomi, who were arrested, get charges dropped, or just released pending trial?

“Trump jails Don Lemon”...no, Don Lemon got himself jailed for breaking the law.

Newsmax just replayed Lemon’s whisper-”reporting” outside of the church before the intrusion. He was saying “we” which clearly shows he was part of the terrorism.

[Republican Wildcat]

And there’s a lot more leading up to that where he is at the staging ground.

That is not journalism at all.

That’s like being with the mob doing all of that prior to a bank robbery and acting like you wouldn’t be an accessory.

[MayflowerMadam]

For Lemon in men’s lockup, it’ll be Christmas every day.

[dfwgator]

For Lemon in men’s lockup, it’ll be Christmas every day.
