Former CNN Anchor Don Lemon Arrested, Sources Confirm
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested last night, as confirmed by multiple sources to CBS News. The arrest followed the empaneling of a grand jury the same day. Federal agencies, including the FBI and HSI, were involved in the operation.
Details Surrounding the Arrest
Although specific charges against Lemon remain unclear, significant events have unfolded recently. Just last week, a federal appellate court opted not to compel a lower court judge to issue arrest warrants for Lemon and four others. This was in relation to a protest involving immigration enforcement inside a church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Context of the Protest
The protest took place at Cities Church in St. Paul. Demonstrators allegedly entered the church after discovering an ICE official among the pastors. The situation escalated, prompting legal scrutiny.
Judicial Proceedings
One judge on the appellate panel mentioned the presence of probable cause for the arrests, as stated in legal documents and reports from well-informed sources. The Justice Department had sought the appellate court’s assistance in urging the U.S. District Court in Minnesota to issue arrest warrants.
Civil Rights Implications
The charges discussed are civil rights violations. They allege that the involved individuals unlawfully interfered with the constitutional right of churchgoers to practice their religion freely.
