Four Journalists in Total: AG Pamela Bondi Announces Arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, Trahern Jeen Crews and Jamael Lundy
Four Journalists in Total: AG Pamela Bondi Announces Arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, Trahern Jeen Crews and Jamael Lundy
U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi confirmed Friday that four journalists in total were taken into federal custody in connection with an anti-immigration protest that allegedly disrupted worship at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. The protest, which occurred on January 18, drew national attention after demonstrators interrupted a service to protest alleged ties between church leadership and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). In a post on X Friday morning, Bondi wrote: “At my direction, early this morning, federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.” Lemon’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, has argued his client was covering the event as a journalist, asserting that his actions are protected by the First Amendment. Fort, an independent journalist, was detained by federal agents on Friday while livestreaming her arrest on social media and questioning whether her press rights were being respected. Crews and Lundy are local activists linked to the same protest. Charges haven’t been fully detailed, but federal prosecutors are examining possible civil rights and interference with religious worship violations stemming from the incident. The announcement renews debate among press freedom advocates and civil liberties groups over the role of journalists in covering protests and how federal authorities pursue charges tied to demonstrations.

i might be going out on a limb here but it is not good parenting to take your kids to jeffrey epstein's private island 4 years after he plead guilty to sex crimes involving children, & it is very strange to list their ages to him
But the new Epstein files show a series of subsequent interactions. That included this email from Lutnick about bringing his family and others to visit Epstein at his private island, Little St. James.

BREAKING: A federal court permanently blocks two provisions of Trump’s anti-voting executive order seeking to impose new citizenship verification requirements to register to vote.

The judge said the Constitution assigns “no role at all to the President” to change federal election administration.

BREAKING: The Trump regime has detained former CNN host Don Lemon.
A week ago, the regime tried to charge Lemon for covering an anti-ICE protest inside a Minnesota church, but a magistrate judge rejected the move.
Lemon predicted: “They’re going to try again.” Apparently, he was right.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."
