Don Lemon vows to fight charges after arrest  Journalist Don Lemon vowed to continue reporting the news in remarks outside a Los Angeles federal courthouse on Friday. Lemon entered a not guilty plea to federal charges over his role covering a protest at a Minnesota church against President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown, the Republican administration's latest move against a critic. A magistrate judge ordered Lemon released to await trial, after a night in custody following his arrest late on Thursday (January 29) by the FBI.

00:00I have spent my entire career covering the news.

00:26I will not stop now.

00:29In fact, there is no more important time than right now, this very moment, for a free and

00:37independent media that shines a light on the truth and holds those in power accountable.

00:42Again, I will not stop now.

00:44I will not stop ever.

00:55Last night, the DOJ sent a team of federal agents to arrest me in the middle of the night for

01:00something that I've been doing for the last 30 years, and that is covering the news.

01:07The First Amendment of the Constitution protects that work for me and for countless of other

01:12journalists who do what I do.

01:16I stand with all of them, and I will not be silenced.

01:21I look forward to my day in court.

01:23Thank you all.

01:30Amen.
