"The arrest of Don Lemon is a warning. It tells us that this regime has already become very comfortable with surveillance and people-grabbing and is now willing to test whether it can punish those who demonstrate its illegalities. The bottom line is that this is a bunch of criminals. If we just move along, we are empowering Trump and his coterie."

Stories like this are exaclty why we should, research the matter fully. Some may argue that he #DonLemon broke the Face act. The reality is, the Face act is being weaponised to silence a journalist and silence free speech. FYI the pastor of that church is an ICE agent

Journalist Don Lemon charged for covering protest at Minnesota church

The Department of Homeland Security says journalist Don Lemon has been charged with federal civil rights crimes in connection with an anti-immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a service at a Minnesota church. Attorney Abbe Lowell says Lemon was arrested Thursday by federal agents in Los Angeles, where he had been covering the Grammy Awards. Lemon was charged Friday with conspiracy and interfering with the First Amendment rights of worshipers during a Jan. 18 protest at the Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. Lemon, who was fired from CNN in 2023, has said he has no affiliation to the organization that went into the church and that he was there as a journalist chronicling protesters.
