Former CNN anchor Don Lemon and independent journalist Georgia Fort have been arrested on federal charges. Last week, they both reported on a peaceful protest inside a St. Paul church where a top ICE official serves as a pastor. Lemon’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, called his arrest an “unprecedented attack on the First Amendment.” Lowell went on to say, “Instead of investigating the federal agents who killed two peaceful Minnesota protesters, the Trump Justice Department is devoting its time, attention and resources to this arrest, and that is the real indictment of wrongdoing in this case.”
