Don Lemon has called out MAGA figures for “losing their mind” over his coverage of anti-ICE protesters who stormed a church during a Sunday service.
The former CNN anchor livestreamed himself joining a group of demonstrators who disrupted a service at Cities Church in Minneapolis to protest a pastor there who they said works for Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The city has been the site of ongoing protests after 37-year-old Renee Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent amid large-scale immigration raids.
Lemon faced calls from conservative figures to be tossed in jail for covering the protest, an act he repeatedly noted is protected under the First Amendment. Harmeet Dhillon, the Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for civil rights and a top Donald Trump ally, even warned Lemon: “You are on notice!”
