Journalist Don Lemon has been arrested in connection with an incident several weeks ago in which anti-ICE protesters disrupted a service at a Minnesota church.
Lemon, a former CNN anchor, has argued he was exercising his First Amendment rights as a journalist during the protest at a church in St. Paul, Minnesota.
Three others were also arrested on charges that they had violated federal law during the demonstration this month, reviving a case that was rejected last week by a magistrate judge.
Press freedom groups decry arrest of former CNN anchor as lawyer pledges to fight charges 'vigorously'.
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon, now an independent journalist, has been arrested for alleged involvement in an "coordinated attack" on a church during protests in Minnesota against an immigration crackdown, the US attorney general said Friday.
Lemon says he was just doing his job as a journalist reporting on the protests at the church.
Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents in Los Angeles, where had been covering the Grammy Awards, his attorney said.
