Ex-CNN Anchor Don Lemon Arrested Amid Minneapolis Immigration Protest Crackdown

  • Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested on unspecified federal charges related to a "coordinated attack" on Cities Church in St. Paul.
  • Lemon's arrest, ordered by Attorney General Pam Bondi, stems from his coverage of an immigration protest at the church, where an ICE official serves as pastor.
  • President Trump labeled Alex Pretti, a nurse shot dead by federal agents, an "agitator" and "insurrectionist" on Truth Social, despite earlier conciliatory tones.
  • The killings of Pretti and Renee Good by federal agents in Minneapolis sparked widespread outrage and led to a government shutdown debate in Congress.
  • New point man Tom Homan was appointed to oversee Minneapolis immigration operations, suggesting a potential drawdown of federal agents and promising accountability for misconduct.
