    Don Lemon is a former CNN journalist who has been a critic of Trump.

    An ICE official serves as a pastor of the church that Lemon and other have been charged with disrupting.

    Trump tried to have an arrest warrant for Lemon issued by a judge but the judge didn't issue one.

    After failing in that endeavor, Trump had a federal grand jury in MN indict Lemon.

    Journalist Don Lemon charged with federal civil rights crimes after covering anti-ICE church protest

    excerpt:

    LOS ANGELES (AP) — Journalist Don Lemon was released from custody Friday after he was arrested and hit with federal civil rights charges over his coverage of an anti-immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a service at a Minnesota church.

    Lemon was arrested overnight in Los Angeles, while another independent journalist and two protest participants were arrested in Minnesota. He struck a confident, defiant tone while speaking to reporters after a court appearance in California, declaring: “I will not be silenced.”

    Trump authorizes ICE to target courthouses, schools and churches

    excerpt:

    Federal immigration authorities will be permitted to target schools and churches after President Donald Trump revoked a directive barring arrests in “sensitive” areas.

    The Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday it would roll back the policy to "thwart law enforcement in or near so-called sensitive areas."

    Trump wants the freedom to send immigration agents into schools, courthouses, and churches to arrest people.

    But if journalists are there to record the events, they are subject to being arrested for allegedly violating the rights of the schools, courthouses, and churches.

    That's like the cartoon that shows a Trump supporter chastising an athlete kneeling to pay respect to victims of police brutality during the National Anthem for supposedly being disrespectful to the American flag and then taking the flag and using it to beat police officers to death at the Capitol riot in the name of Trump.

    US citizen says ICE removed him from his Minnesota home in his underwear after warrantless search

    US citizen says ICE removed him from his Minnesota home in his underwear after warrantless search

    excerpt:

    "ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Federal immigration agents bashed open a door and detained a U.S. citizen in his Minnesota home at gunpoint without a warrant, then led him out onto the streets in his underwear in subfreezing conditions, according to his family and videos reviewed by The Associated Press.

    ChongLy "Scott" Thao told the AP that his daughter-in-law alerted him on Sunday afternoon that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were banging at the door of his residence in St. Paul. He told her not to open it. Masked agents then forced their way in and pointed guns at the family, yelling at them, Thao recalled.

    "I was shaking," he said. "They didn't show any warrant; they just broke down the door."

    Amid a massive surge of federal agents into the Twin Cities, immigration authorities are facing backlash from residents and the local leaders for warrantless arrests, aggressive clashes with protestors and the fatal shooting of mother of three Renee Good."

    excerpt:

    "Thao said agents drove him "to the middle of nowhere" and made him get out of the car in the frigid weather so they could photograph him. He said he feared they would beat him. He was asked for his ID, which agents earlier prevented him from retrieving.

    Agents eventually realized that he was a U.S. citizen with no criminal record, Thao said, and an hour or two later, they brought him back to his house. There they made him show his ID and then left without apologizing for detaining him or breaking his door, Thao said."

    In summary, the person Trump's agents arrested is the father of someone who was driving a car that was owned by someone else (not in the car) who had the same first name as a person of interest, someone who was a friend of the driver's cousin. Trump's agents arrested the father at his house, cuffed him, took him away in his underpants in sub-zero weather. They later released him because he's an innocent U.S. citizen with no criminal record.

    Yet Trump's DOJ arrests journalist Don Lemon for covering a anti-ICE demonstration at a church because he's allegedly violating other people's rights.

    Trump reportedly will swarm Ohio to capture Haitians whose protection status he has recently stripped.

    That will make Springfield, OH safe from people who are abducting other people's dogs and cats and eating them.


    ICE Expected to Flood Ohio Next Week and Round Up Haitians Stripped of Legal Status By Trump
    Holocaust historian Timothy Snyder said it sounds like ICE is “gearing up for a pogrom in Springfield, Ohio.”

    Trump says he's building a stadium in front of the White House that will hold 100,000 spectators to view the big wrestling fight on the nation's 250th birthday.


    Donald Trump expects 100,000 people in new ‘stadium’ for UFC White House

    excerpt:

    "Earlier this month, White said the latest plans were for roughly 5,000 people to attend the event on the White House lawn, with another 85,000 people planned to attend a screening to be held in The Ellipse, a 52-acre park across the street from the White House."
