MN - Journalist Don Lemon arrested for church protest, Minneapolis, 18 Jan 2026

The pastor's other profession was working for federal immigration enforcement charged with detainment and deportation of illegal immigrants. I don't know any country that would just sit by and watch 15 million illegal immigrants enter the country with no repercussions.

I don’t agree

Immigrants, wether documented or not are human beings

Seems very very unchristian to denigrate

It's the 1st Amendment rights that are being used to defend Don Lemon. We always talk about the defense argument on these threads, so it makes sense that in this case, we'd be discussing 1A.



Tricia actually answered this question quite eloquently earlier in the thread. No one seems to know anything about Georgia Fort, but there is no doubt whatsoever (or there shouldn't be) that Don Lemon is a legitimate journalist. He has the education, the training, and decades of professional experience behind him, so it's understandable that we'd be talking about him when discussing freedom of the press. There's a difference between legitimate journalists (even when acting independently) and influencers who just pick up a camera.

MOO.

I just did a quick google, and Wikipedia suggests that Fort has worked as a journalist since she graduated. A news anchor for KBGR in Wisconsin, a reporter for WVTM in Georgia, among other things so I would say she is a journalist.
MOO though because wiki.

Interesting that it was the federal magistrate judge who recommended to the government prosecution that they go the route of a grand jury as one option.

Is it though? To me it reads "I'm not touching that with a barge pole, but if you're determined then float it past a GJ and you'll probably get a couple more miles out of it before it sinks"
