Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who oversees the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, announced an investigtion within hours, calling the protesters’ actions “desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshippers.”
“Attacks against law enforcement and the intimidation of Christians are being met with the full force of federal law,” Attorney General Pam Bondi posted on X late Sunday night.
In announcing the federal investigation, Dhillon cited the FACE Act, a federal law that “prohibits the use or threat of force and physical obstruction that injures, intimidates, or interferes with a person seeking to … exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship.”
In addition, former CNN anchor Don Lemon said he was present at the demonstration as a journalist and not as a protester after Department of Justice officials suggested he could face charges soon.
"We will pursue charges,” Dhillon said. She continued, saying Lemon could not use his role as a journalist as a “shield.”
“Don Lemon himself has come out and said he knew exactly what was going to happen inside that facility. He went into the facility, and then he began, quote, unquote, committing journalism,” she said.
She singled out Lemon in a post on X, saying that he is “on notice.”
Of course, considering his lack of prominence in the public eye and his narcissistic personality, he sent an email to CNN, claiming, “It’s notable that I’ve been cast as the face of a protest I was covering as a journalist, especially since I wasn’t the only reporter there. That framing is telling.”
He is attempting to make himself a martyr for “the cause”, as if he were a sacrificial lamb. He is far from it. And Don, nobody really cares about you.
It is time for the paid protesters to stand down and allow the ICE agents do the job that the CONGRESS legislated to do: enforce US immigration law. To remind those who forgot, it was a bi-partisan vote, where the House was controlled by Republicans and the Senate was controlled by Democrats.
These men and women are NOT Nazis or Gestapo, in spite of what leftist leaders like Tim Walz, JB Pritzker, Gavin Newsom or Zohran Mamdani are claiming. Instead they are lawful, commissioned law enforcement officers, putting THEIR lives in danger to protect AMERICANS under the laws of the United States.
It is time to refocus our energies on the real rights of Americans and not the perceived rights of illegals.
