DOJ Eyes Charges in Minnesota Anti-ICE Church Protest With Don Lemon
Minnesota Church Protest
DOJ Eyes Criminal Charges …
Don Lemon In The Mix?
Published
The U.S. Department of Justice has launched a criminal probe into an anti-ICE protest that tore through a Minnesota church service Sunday … and former CNN host Don Lemon could be swept up in it under the century-old “KKK Act.”
DOJ Assistant AG for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon tells TMZ … every demonstrator who stormed the Sunday service at Cities Church in St. Paul is now under federal investigation. When we asked if Don is in the crosshairs, Dhillon wouldn’t confirm or deny it, telling us to connect the dots ourselves.
Don says he was merely doing his job — reporting a news story from the scene. But, on his livestream, Don is seen kissing the organizer of the protest on the cheek, which the feds might interpret as him having a closer connection to the group.

Dhillon says FBI agents are already talking to witnesses, and while no formal charges have been filed yet, it’s “fair to say” charges are coming under the Face Act and KKK Act, that make it a crime to terrorize and violate the civil rights of citizens.

Lemon live-streamed the chaos as anti-ICE activists interrupted the service to protest federal immigration raids in Minnesota — part of a backlash after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good earlier this month. The pastor of Cities Church — David Easterwood — is believed to be a senior ICE official in the city.
Now the whole thing is blowing up … and what started as a protest could spiral into federal charges for demonstrators and journalists alike — including Don.
Donald Trump
Lock Up Lemon For 40 Years!!!
Published
Donald Trump just cosigned a social media post saying Don Lemon should go to prison for reporting from an anti-ICE church protest in Minnesota.
On Truth Social Monday, the U.S. president reshared a post from an account called “MoniFunGirl,” who said she wants to see the journalist slapped with 40 years in prison just for showing up at the protest crowd outside Cities Church in St. Paul on Sunday.
The number didn’t come out of thin air … Moni claimed a group of elderly women got 40 years in prison for protesting at an abortion clinic under the FACE Act, and basically insinuating Don was doing the same, and should face the same consequences.

Trump didn’t add a single word — but the repost made his stance crystal clear. This comes just hours after DOJ Assistant AG for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon told TMZ every demonstrator who stormed Sunday’s service at Cities Church in St. Paul is now under federal investigation, with potential charges coming under the FACE Act and even the KKK Act.
Don told us he was just doing his job — reporting a news story from the scene. But on his livestream, he’s seen kissing the protest’s organizer on the cheek… and that’s exactly the kind of thing the feds could use to argue he wasn’t just an innocent bystander.
Amanda Batula And Kyle Cooke
We’re Done — After Four Years Of Marriage!
Published
“Summer House’s” Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke are officially dunzo … after four years of marriage.
The reality television stars let their fans know about their split in a message shared on their social media accounts, and they wrote they were “mutually and amicably” going their separate ways. They didn’t give any specifics about a timeline for their presumed divorce.
They also asked their fans for privacy while they navigated their split … and acknowledged their request was “ironic” given how they’d always tried to remain open about the state of their relationship.
FYI … Amanda and Kyle started dating back in 2015, and although they broke things off at first, they eventually got back together and officially started dating in 2017.
The Bravo stars got engaged the following year, and they tied the knot in September 2021 after delaying their wedding date due to the pandemic.
It’s worth noting Kyle admitted to cheating on Amanda back in 2019, and he was hit with infidelity rumors in 2023 … the two managed to bounce back both times, though.
Oh, we should also mention Amanda and Kyle are set to star in their own “Summer House” spinoff, “In The City” … no word on any changes in the show’s production in the wake of their split.
