Federal agents detain former CNN journalist who recorded protesters during an immigration-related demonstration at a church in Minnesota.
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has been arrested by federal agents after he entered a Minnesota church and recorded protesters who disrupted a service, his lawyer has said.
The arrest has come after a magistrate judge last week rejected prosecutors’ initial request to bring charges against him.
What was happening at the church in Minnesota?
The protest disrupted a service at the Cities Church in St. Paul, where a local official with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement serves as a pastor.
Prosecutors have accused participants in the demonstration of civil rights violations linked to the disruption of worship.
Two other people involved in the protest, including a prominent civil rights attorney, have been arrested in recent days.
