On Sunday, things got wildly out of hand in Minneapolis when a mob of left-wing agitators stormed into a church where Christian families were worshiping the Lord.
We brought you the full scoop yesterday:
DISGUSTING: Don Lemon & Anti-ICE Protestors STORM Minneapolis Church
Led by Don Lemon, these crazed leftists screamed at the believers, including women and children.
One child could be seen crying, scared out of his mind at what was happening.
Don Lemon himself harassed the congregation's pastor on a live stream.
Here's a clip of that, along with the photo of the terrified child being consoled:

Absolutely disgusting and shameless.
All while scaring children and threatening the congregation's right to worship, Don Lemon insisted that he and the leftist thugs were shielded by the First Amendment.
However, that is not the case at all.
Today, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon announced that the DOJ will be pursuing federal charges against Don Lemon.
Fox News reported:
Former CNN host Don Lemon has been put "on notice" by the Justice Department after he joined anti-ICE agitators who stormed a church in St. Paul during a service on Sunday.
ADVERTISEMENTLemon, an independent journalist since being fired by CNN in 2023, has been documenting the Minnesota chaos following the fatal ICE shooting of Renee Nicole Good. He entered the Cities Church along with anti-ICE agitators and began filming, telling viewers that "the freedom to protest" is what the First Amendment is all about.
But Harmeet Dhillon, the Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for civil rights, disagrees with Lemon.
"A house of worship is not a public forum for your protest! It is a space protected from exactly such acts by federal criminal and civil laws! Nor does the First Amendment protect your pseudo journalism of disrupting a prayer service. You are on notice," Dhillon wrote on X.
Dhillon also said she is in touch with Attorney General Pamela Bondi on the issue.
"We are all over it. We are investigating potential criminal violations of federal law," Dhillon wrote.
Specifically, the DOJ intends to charge Don Lemon under the Klu Klux Klan Act, which makes it a federal crime to conspire to prevent anyone from exercising their constitutional rights.
Assistant AG Dhillon dove deep into the Klan Act and the details of the charges with Benny Johnson on his podcast.

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."
However, Don Lemon seems to believe that he is above the law.
Just today, he doubled down, insulting the members of the congregation that he harassed on Sunday.
Watch this:
🚨 JUST IN: Don Lemon just doubled down and TRASHED the congregation he attempted to incite a riot against
“They’re entitled, white supremacists!”
This guy is a complete scumbag. I can’t WAIT to see him indicted for this.

Utterly despicable.
I have a feeling this isn't going to play out well for Don...
Elon Musk is among the voices calling for his arrest:
Crime is crime. He committed crime, so he should pay the price.

What do you think?
Should Don Lemon be prosecuted for his role in storming a Minneapolis church?
What are your feelings?
