Former CNN anchor Don Lemon, now an independent journalist, has been detained for suspected involvement in a “coordinated attack” on a church during rallies in Minnesota opposing an immigration crackdown, the US attorney general said Friday.
Lemon and three other people were arrested, according to President Donald Trump’s attorney general Pam Bondi, who said they were involved in a “coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.”
Lemon’s lawyer said he was hauled into prison in Los Angeles overnight, adding his work covering the protests “was no different to what he has always done.”
