Journalists Arrested
The Trump administration is taking increasingly un-American actions to arrest journalists. Independent journalists are now being indicted in a chilling attempt to suppress our First Amendment rights. The following from NBC News reporting: [1]
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested on Friday and accused of violating federal civil rights law in connection with his coverage of a protest at a Minnesota church earlier this month.
Lemon was arrested along with three others and charged with conspiracy against the rights of religious freedom at a place of worship and injuring, intimidating and interfering with the exercise of the right of religious freedom at a place of worship.
He was released on a personal recognizance bond on Friday and appeared outside a downtown federal courthouse several minutes later.
“I have spent my entire career covering the news,” he said. “I will not stop now. There is no more important time than right now, this very moment, for a free and independent media that shines a light on the truth and holds those in power accountable.”
The arrest of one the country’s most recognizable journalists is the latest development in the federal government’s immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, in which two U.S. citizens have been shot and killed.
No Kings!
The next mass mobilization event is scheduled for Saturday, March 28, 2026. In the previous nationwide demonstrations, over 7 million people participated. I’m convinced that the escalations in Minneapolis will drive even more Americans to join the demonstrations next month. [2]
