Journalist and former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested by federal authorities on January 29, 2026, in Los Angeles in connection with his reporting on a disruptive anti-immigration enforcement protest at a church in St. Paul, Minnesota. The arrest — made while Lemon was covering the Grammy Awards — has sparked intense debate about press freedom and the scope of First Amendment protections. 

Lemon’s attorney, Abbe Lowell, stated that his presence at the protest was journalistic in nature and protected by the Constitution. Lowell called the arrest an attempt to “intimidate” journalists and said that Lemon’s reporting was consistent with his long career in the media.
