Covering journalism news for my work at St. Bonaventure University.
Were Lemon & Fort protesters or neutral observers? Did DOJ defy courts by arresting them? These are unprecedented federal charges that some say criminalize news gathering. Could be adjudicated as a 1st Amendment violation. Bondi’s X announcement was productive for awareness but inflammatory.

Why was there such a dehumanizing delivery? To avoid confrontation? Hopefully, it can become a nonprofit. Where are the detailed finances and staff support? This is a stark symbol of local news' collapse. It also embodies the cold corporate indifference to journalism's human core.

Was this truly a "last resort" per DOJ rules? Did officials exploit loopholes to bypass Privacy Protection Act? This signals a chilling escalation in press freedom threats post-Bondi guideline changes. Also elicits alarm as a brazen attack on journalism, risking sources.
