Former CNN host Don Lemon could face criminal charges for embedding with anti-ICE agitators who stormed a Minnesota church during a Sunday service, Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett argued, saying journalism does not shield someone from liability when crimes are committed.<\/p>\n

Lemon went viral Sunday for his reporting on the chaos that unfolded at Cities Church in St. Paul, telling viewers that “the freedom to protest<\/a>” is what the First Amendment is all about. Protesters claimed a pastor inside was affiliated with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).<\/p>\n

“The right to protest, Sean, does not extend to private property<\/a> and certainly not to churches, which are protected spaces by law,” Jarrett told Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity on Monday.<\/p>\n

“This mob that stormed the church, harassed and terrorized the congregation, they can and should be prosecuted for a variety of crimes. Trespass, disorderly conduct, disturbing a religious meeting, and importantly, violating the FACE Act.”<\/p>\n

Jarrett said Lemon could find himself “prosecuted as a willing participant” in the incident. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“He appears to have actually embedded himself with the mob, knowing full well that they intended to commit those crimes,” he said. “Calling yourself a journalist, that’s not a defense, and the First Amendment is not a shield from criminal charges.”<\/p>\n

Lemon stood by his reporting despite being put “on notice”<\/u><\/a> by Harmeet Dhillon, the Justice Department\u2019s assistant attorney general for civil rights.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s notable that I\u2019ve been cast as the face of a protest I was covering as a journalist \u2014 especially since I wasn\u2019t the only reporter there. That framing is telling,” Lemon told Fox News Digital<\/u><\/a> in a statement. “What\u2019s even more telling is the barrage of violent threats along with homophobic and racist slurs directed at me online by MAGA supporters and amplified by parts of the right-wing press.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If this much time and energy is going to be spent manufacturing outrage, it would be far better used investigating the tragic death of Renee Nicole Good<\/a> \u2013 the very issue that brought people into the streets in the first place,” Lemon continued. “I stand by my reporting.”<\/p>\n
