The Department of Justice will “pursue charges” against the anti-ICE agitators who invaded a Sunday church service in St. Paul, including disgraced former CNN reporter Don Lemon, who feebly attempted to cloak his participation in the chaos as an “act of journalism.”
Assistant attorney general for civil rights Harmeet Dhillon told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson that the department “will pursue charges” related to the incident in which families and children were terrorized by a screaming mob of protesters at Cities Church.
Lemon “went into the facility, and then he began, quote, unquote ‘committing journalism,’ as if that’s a sort of shield from being a part, an embedded part, of a criminal conspiracy. It isn’t,” Dhillon clarified during an appearance on “The Benny Show” Monday.
*** “Whenever anyone conspires to violate the protected civil rights of American citizens, the Klan Act can be used to bring a conspiracy charge,” she said.
Video posted by Lemon himself before, during and after the church takeover showed he was very much part of the group, under the flimsy guise of “chronicling” the event as a journalist.
Ahead of the group barging into the house of worship, Lemon filmed a segment saying he had done some “reconnaissance” with the activists, which included members of Minnesota Black Lives Matter, who were milling about in a parking lot a few feet away. ***
“They’re planning an operation we’re going to follow them on. I can’t tell you exactly what they’re doing, but it’s called Operation Pull-Up,” he said coyly.
“So that’s what we’re doing here, and after we do this operation, you’ll see it live, these operations are surprise operations, again I can’t tell you where they’re going,” he said, readily admitting he had foreknowledge of what was about to take place.

Wake me when….
But he is a ......journalist....who just happened to be there.
Like Nike used to say: Just Do It!
I guarantee you that right now, Don Lemon does NOT believe anything of consequence is going to happen, regardless of what the DOJ just announced.
“I’m untouchable!”
Is deportation an option?
At this point I agree with him.
Pull-up Big Boy Pants!
“Wake me when….”
“WILL (future tense) pursue charges.” pfffft! (They will do no such thing)
They’re “looking into it”, per Alina Habba.
They’re “investigating”, per ... well ... everyone.
Free Speech includes the overtaking of a peaceful assembly?
Why invade a Church?
What did they expect to accomplish?
Is this church in some way anti-illegal immigrant?
I don't see any upside to invading a church.
Funny that the law was blatantly violated and nobody’s been arrested…
The terrorists were screaming about “white nationalists” in the church. The most epic pic of the incident was of an ASIAN father and mother comforting their terrified ASIAN child.
He was spawned, I mean born within the United States.
Wee-See-Anna.
Breaking the Law is ... Breaking the Law.
Nowhere is it written that you are allowed to Break The Law if you are a journalist. That’s no protection for Lemon.
That’s the truth.
Not in my book.
Good..now wake me up when I actually see these pricks in CUFFS
Yeah “Journalist” my ass..he was NEVER a journalist, EVER..and right after wards he called everyone who goes to that church a “White Supremacist” ironically he doesn’t mind getting his ass reamed by one every night
Trespass, assault, kidnapping, and disturbing the peace for starters.
Quit talking and do it. Get that big mouth male demon who kept swearing at those parishioners too.
