"Don Lemon himself has come out and said he knew exactly what was going to happen inside that facility.He went into the facility, and then he began - quote, unquote - 'committing journalism,' as if that's sort of a shield from being a part, an embedded part, of a criminal conspiracy. It isn't."

A protest targeted Cities Church in St. Paul because organizers say a pastor is a top official in a local ICE field office. The demonstration interrupted Sunday services and prompted calls from right-wing influencers for participants to be charged. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced arrests of three protesters, but a magistrate judge declined to sign a misdemeanor complaint against Don Lemon, indicating a lack of probable cause.
