Ex-CNN journalist arrested at anti-Ice protest inside church
Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has been arrested for his involvement in a protest at a church.
Mr Lemon livestreamed a demonstration earlier this month that interrupted a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota, protesting President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in the area.
Mr Lemon is charged with conspiring to deprive others of their civil rights and violating the Face Act by allegedly obstructing access to a house of worship, according to a Justice Department official.
FBI and Homeland Security Investigations agents arrested him in Los Angeles, a source said.
His lawyer, Abbe Lowell, called his arrest an "unprecedented attack on the First Amendment."
Mr Lemon said he was at the demonstration as a journalist.
