00:00Disgraced ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested early Friday over the anti-ice protests that
00:06stormed a Minneapolis church during Sunday service. Don Lemon was taken into custody by
00:10federal agents in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy Awards, Lemon's attorney
00:16Abby Lowell said in a statement shared with multiple reporters. He was one of four people
00:21arrested by federal agents early Friday in connection with the coordinated attack on
00:25City's church in St. Paul, Minnesota, Bondi later confirmed in a statement. Lemon, who had
00:30been documenting the increasingly violent protests following the shooting of Renee Nicole Goodes,
00:35live-streamed himself alongside demonstrators with the Racial Justice Network storming into
00:40the City's church in St. Paul, Minnesota, as they called out resident pastor David Eastwood,
00:45whom they accused of moonlighting as the acting field office director for ICE in the North Star State.
00:51Lemon spoke with the congregation's lead pastor, Jonathan Parnell, who said the bombardment
00:55was shameful. I mean, this is unacceptable. It's shameful. It's shameful to interrupt
01:02a public gathering of Christians in worship. Harmeet Dhillon, the Justice Department's Assistant
01:07Attorney General for Civil Rights, chided Lemon on social media. A house of worship is not a public
01:13forum for your protests. It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal, criminal, and civil
01:19laws. Nor does the First Amendment protect your pseudo-journalism of disrupting a prayer service.
01:25You are on notice, she wrote.
