Don Lemon, the former CNN host, was arrested during an anti-immigration enforcement protest at a church in Minnesota on January 18. The protest aimed to challenge the presence of an immigration enforcement official within the church's congregation. Lemon, who was filming the event, was charged with 'conspiracy to deprive rights' and 'violation of the FACE Act', which protects access to religious worship from obstruction. Following the incident, he stated, 'I will not be silenced,' expressing his intent to continue covering the news, particularly in times when press freedom is under threat. Lemon's arrest, deemed by some as a serious infringement on First Amendment rights, has drawn widespread attention. Critics argue that it represents a troubling trend in the treatment of journalists, particularly those covering immigration issues sensitively. The sentiment was echoed by Lemon’s lawyer, who argued that this is an unprecedented attack on press freedom amid ongoing protests against federal immigration operations in Minnesota.
