"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."
