GREGG JARRETT: Don Lemon left his press pass at the door when he joined church-storming mob
Federal prosecutors allege former CNN podcaster participated in disrupting religious service rather than just reporting on it
By Gregg Jarrett Fox News
Published January 30, 2026 3:10pm EST

It is a popular fallacy that freedom of the press enshrined in the First Amendment is absolute. It is not and never has been.

The recent arrest of podcaster Don Lemon on federal criminal charges that he willingly joined a mob of anti-ICE protesters who stormed a St. Paul, Minnesota church during Sunday services will inevitably test well-established limits on press freedoms.

Journalists, however defined, cannot, without legal consequences engage in incitement, defamation, obscenity, threatened violence, national security breaches, and the commission of crimes. 

Calling yourself a "journalist" or claiming that you are simply "committing journalism," as Lemon has done, is not a defense. It is your behavior that the law examines. Both words and actions can reveal your intent.

This is why Lemon has found himself in criminal jeopardy. His own digital videos seem to incriminate him. 

In footage that Lemon posted online, it appears that he was not merely an observer recording the illegal protest inside the church, which would be a typical role of a reporter. Instead, he seemed to be an active participant who embedded himself with the mob and joined their cause in harassing and tormenting the parishioners.

Don Lemon blows a kiss to LA Mayor Bass during initial appearance.    Details from Fox Producer Lee Ross.

Don Lemon was the last person to enter the courtroom.  Everyone. Including. The judge was already seated.  He was escorted in without restraint by us Marshall and sat at the defense table next to his lawyer.

The only times Lemon spoke were when he was asked a series of questions by the judge on whether he understood the charges against him and his rights in the case.  To all of the questions he offered in a clear strong voice a variation of “yes” “yes, your honor” “yes, ma’am”.

Lemon was wearing a tan suit with a matching tan collarless shirt.  I saw him wave and blow a kiss to Mayor bass who was seated in the first row of public benches right behind the defense table.  I also saw lemon offer several winks and an easy smile to this area. Perhaps to his husband who was seated in the second row behind bass. 

Otherwise. Lemon was fully attentive to the proceedings.

Attacking a worship service is a line that should never be crossed by anyone for any reason.

Dom Lemon was not a disinterested observer - he was an active participant and a co-conspirator.

Freedom of Press is not an umbrella for acts of Civil Rights violations.

Speech is protected.  Acts are not.

CNN got an illegal advance copy of my indictment, filmed the 6 am military jackboot raid featuring 29 heavily armed FBI agents on my home & dragged my wife from her bed out to the driveway. How did  Don Lemon’s arrest go down ?

As I stated on another thread, I think this is silly...

This POS was dead in media circles, and now we are giving him 9 more cat lives....

Bondi's statement should have been that Don Lemon is too inconsequential to bother with.  Plus, he might like dropping the soap in the  shower.

I don't give a rip if he gets more lives...he's getting that by pulling this stunt in the first place!  NO, those parishioners were kidnapped and terrorized. They deserve every drop of justice they have coming to them!

Don Lemon released from custody after LA court appearance

By Joseph A. Wulfsohn Fox News

The ex-CNN host faces charges for his involvement in an anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church

Former CNN host Don Lemon was released from custody without bail Friday after his court appearance in Los Angeles.

"I've spent my entire career covering the news. I will not stop now," Lemon told reporters outside the courthouse. "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 accountable. And I will not stop now. I will not stop ever.

"Last night, the DOJ sent a team of federal agents to arrest me in the middle of the night for something that I've been doing for the last 30 years. And that is covering the news. The First Amendment of the Constitution protects that work for me and for countless other journalists who do what I do. I stand with all of them, and I will not be silenced. I look forward to my day in court."

Lemon, wearing a tan suit and a tan collarless shirt, was escorted into the courtroom without restraints. Showing support for Lemon in the courtroom was his husband and Democratic LA Mayor Karen Bass.

I expected him to walk today.  He's still at great risk because of all the evidence against him, but rest assured it's kid gloves as long as it takes before sentencing.

Everyone in the Congregation, the minister, and even the children should bring civil suit under 18 USC Sec 241 for conspiracy to deprive them of their Civil Rights and seek punitive damages from all of those involved in the disruption. Bankrupt them.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It's time to stop playing politics with justice!  Dealing the full force of it to people who dare bring their riot to the Sanctuary of a Christian church in prayer is vital.

Yep, I tire of seeing leftist escape justice with their peers often not caring if they do anything. From OJ Simpson on, I am starting to doubt "justice from peers" when it comes to certain sectors of society.

I want to see a jury of white (unlike his husband or whatever he is) heterosexual males that go hunting 3X or more times a year after church.
