Agreed, he was not the only reporter there covering the event. He also wasn’t the only one arrested. IMO, this is political retribution against Don and the other journalists by this administration. I think the fact that 2 judges refused to sign off on the arrest warrant and that we haven’t heard any actual details from the DOJ speaks to that.
Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, told Newsweek that the department "will never confirm or deny attempts to dox our law enforcement officers. Doxing our officers put their lives and their families in serious danger."
Who is David Easterwood? Protestors say pastor is ICE official
Protesters disrupted a service at a church in St. Paul, alleging one of its pastors leads the local ICE field office.www.newsweek.com
He runs the ICE field office in St Paul.
ICE officers uphold the federal laws in our country. There is nothing un Christian about upholding the law. Yes, there are bad officers but man didn’t shoot anyone to my knowledge. He wasn’t at the service that was protested. I wonder what would have happened had he been there?

Of course. Let's not forget t's hate of CNN, Don L was an anchor and had his own spot for years there, then abruptly booted due to ..changes. Cnn doing a bit of caving and the spots were NEVER the same. Just as if Caitlyn Collins (sp) was the press person, we have seen t call her NASTTTTY a couple of times for the world to see. She holds her own against the likes of him of course. IMO
Journalists are generally not considered part of the "storm". Journalists are observers and they are free to comment. However, they should not facilitate an event. (Sometimes the line is blurry, for instance, opening the door for someone etc)
Live streaming the storming of a religious building during a religious meeting means that Don Lemon had advance notice of the intent to interfere with the religious meeting and to violate the FACE Act. If a gang of angry civilians stormed a church, synagogue, mosque, or an abortion clinic, is the person filming the event an innocent bystander or complicit?

I don’t believe we have any actual information regarding the charges against Don at this point or when he found out about the protest. The DOJ hasn’t spoken about his arrest at all or released any information.Live streaming the storming of a religious building during a religious meeting means that Don Lemon had advance notice of the intent to interfere with the religious meeting and to violate the FACE Act.

The FACE Act prohibits interference with any person who is seeking to exercise first amendment rights of religious freedom at a place of religious worship:
Why should anyone assume that the person with the camera is not a threat?
"A gunman opened fire in a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, killing 50 people and injuring 50 more. As he did son, he filmed the entire crime and live-streamed it directly to Facebook"

Why was a video of the shootings shared on social media and what can be done about the wider threat?
Two options - the man with the camera was coincidentally at a church at the moment it was stormed by protesters, or he planned to be there because he had advance notice. What does Occam's razor tell us?

How does any journalist know where to be to cover a story?
I cannot find any video uploaded by Don Lemon of the event where he claims he was a journalist. I have found other videos where journalists are commenting on the event, and where short clips are shown. They are widely available ... but I'm unable to find the journalistic video by Don Lemon.
if DL and other reporters had not covered this incident would we even know about protesters storming a church and interfering with parishioners' rights of religions freedoms to worship?
