Don Lemon Arrested Over Church Protest

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested by federal agents in Los Angeles late Thursday, his lawyer said, a week after a magistrate judge declined to sign off on a complaint charging him over his involvement in an anti-immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a church service in Minnesota.

Lemon, who now works independently, was covering the Grammy Awards when federal agents took him into custody, his lawyer Abbe Lowell said, calling the arrest an “unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration.”
