Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested by federal authorities on Thursday night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards.

It was not immediately clear why Lemon was arrested. However, the Justice Department promised to pursue charges against Lemon after the independent journalist covered a protest in a Minnesota church last week.

What de-escalation?

Independent journalist Georgia Fort was also arrested last night. She filmed the Minnesota church protest a few weeks ago.

Twin Cities civil rights attorney and activist Nekima Levy Armstrong and St. Paul school board member Chauntyll Allen are among at least three people who were arrested on Jan 22 in connection with the protest at the church.
