From Megyn Kelly
Don Lemon has been arrested on federal charges related to a protest at a church in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he allegedly engaged in actions that violated the Ku Klux Klan Act and the FACE Act by obstructing access and interfering with worshippers' rights. The discussion centers around whether Lemon's behavior constituted journalistic activity or illegal obstruction of civil rights during the protest.
