Don Lemon’s involvement in the recent church incident has raised eyebrows. According to a report from RedState’s Bonchie, Lemon appeared more as an active participant than a reporter. Bonchie noted, “Lemon didn’t remain outside to cover the event; instead, he joined the intrusion into the church, even voicing support for the demonstrators. He confronted the pastor, asserting the activists’ First Amendment rights and questioned why the pastor wasn’t addressing the demands of those who had disrupted the service.”

This incident has certainly drawn the Department of Justice’s attention. In a recent media appearance, attorney Harmeet Dhillon discussed potential legal actions, stating, “We intend to pursue charges. I see several possible offenses, though I won’t specify them now. The FACE Act has been mentioned as a potential basis. In similar cases, the Biden administration has used the Klan Act conspiracy charges alongside the FACE Act to impose tougher penalties. We have numerous legal avenues to explore.”

Regarding Lemon, Dhillon added, “Don Lemon has acknowledged he was aware of the planned events inside. He entered the facility and claimed he was ‘committing journalism,’ which does not protect him from being part of a criminal conspiracy.”

Dhillon further assured the public that the DOJ is adhering to all legal protocols in securing arrest warrants and pursuing federal charges against those who invaded Cities Church on Sunday.

This clearly caught the attention of the DOJ. In another media appearance Monday, Dhillon laid out one possible way the DOJ could bring charges against those involved, saying, “We will pursue charges in this case. I see various crimes that have occurred. Exactly what they are, I’m not going to flag, but the FACE Act has been mentioned as one of the predicates there. In other cases, the Biden DOJ used the Klan Act conspiracy charges tacked onto the FACE Act in the case of the protests outside the abortion clinics to bring much longer sentences. So, there are a number of tools available to us.”

BREAKING: DOJ Announces Intention to Charge Don Lemon under the Ku Klux Klan Act. 

The KKK Act makes it illegal to threaten, hurt, or intimidate people to prevent them from exercising their God-given rights.

HARMEET DHILLON: “The Klan Act is one of the most important federal civil rights statutes. Its a law that makes it illegal to terrorize and violate the civil rights of citizens. Whenever people conspire this, the Klan Act can be used.” 

“Everyone in the protest community needs to know that the fullest force of the federal government is going to come down and prevent this from happening and put people away for a long time.”

As for Don Lemon? Here’s more from Dhillon: “Don Lemon himself has come out and said he knew exactly what was going to happen inside that facility. He went into the facility, and then he began ‘committing journalism.’ As if that is a shield from being an embedded part of a criminal conspiracy. It isn’t.”

Dhillon also sought to reassure Americans that the DOJ is following proper legal procedures to obtain arrest warrants and pursue federal charges against those who stormed Cities Church on Sunday.

To those asking where the arrests are: MN state prosecutors could have made arrests yesterday. The DOJ must first go before a federal judge to obtain an arrest warrant.

As President Trump has said before, if Tim Walz and other Democrat leaders in Minnesota won’t pursue justice against the agitators and bullies, the Trump administration will.
