Please be patient. Harmeet Dhillon at DOJ has indicated that they are doing the investigation to take this to the limit, even invoking the Biden Admin's application of the statute to anti-abortion protesters.
Real documentation for indictment takes time. You can't simply do it from news reports.
I think that the DOJ would like to fry these guys, and if they feel they have a real case, I think they will.

What was the joke in Office Space? "We're going to federal Pound-Me-In-The-Ass prison." If the goal is to punish Don Lemon, that's not the right way.

Well then, let's just throw out due process and be as bad as they are.
I get the frustration, I really do, but doing things right takes time. Life isn't "A Few Good Men", and that isn't how the real justice system works. If you short circuit stuff, you give the fucker you are after a chance to have things dismissed because you cut corners. Keep it tight, get it right, burn him hot.
Pro tip, buy flannel from LL Bean.

That is some very subtle shit right there. USDA Prime trolling. You, sir, officially win the internet for today. Put that in you calendar, and celebrate!

DOJ Launches Probe After Anti-ICE Protesters Disrupt Church Service in Minnesota
Footage circulating on social media shows protesters inside Cities Church in St. Paul during a Sunday service.
The Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ) is looking into possible violations stemming from a protest by anti-ICE demonstrators at a church in St. Paul, Minnesota, on Jan. 18, according to officials.
Footage circulating on social media shows protesters gathering inside Cities Church in St. Paul during a Sunday service, while chanting phrases like “Justice for Renee Good” and “Who needs justice, we need justice.”
Protests against ICE in Minnesota have escalated after a federal agent in Minneapolis fatally shot protester Renee Good, who allegedly drove her SUV toward the officer after being ordered to exit her vehicle during an ICE operation. Federal officials have said the officer opened fire in self-defense.
Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general of the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, said on X that federal officials are investigating protesters for potential violations for allegedly “desecrating a house of worship and interfering with Christian worshippers” during a service at Cities Church. “Considering and investigating other related crimes as well. @FBI activated too,” Dhillon said in a subsequent post, suggesting the FBI will also be involved in the investigation. Attorney General Pam Bondi later said on X that she has been in communication with Dhillon regarding the protests at Cities Church and has ordered the DOJ to investigate.
Bondi also warned that anyone found in violation of federal law will face prosecution.
YouTuber Don Lemon, who livestreamed the protest, said that anti-ICE protesters disrupted a church service at Cities Church following claims that one of the church pastors is serving as acting field office director for ICE in Minnesota. In his video, Lemon spoke to the church’s lead pastor, Jonathan Parnell, as protesters gathered inside the church. Parnell said that he had requested the protesters to leave but they refused. “I mean this is unacceptable. It’s shameful to interrupt a public gathering of Christians in worship,” Parnell told Lemon.
Lemon pointed to the First Amendment, highlighting the rights “to freedom of speech and freedom to assemble and protest,” and Parnell replied that the congregation had come “here to worship Jesus.”
When asked whether he had tried to talk to the protesters, Parnell said: “No one is willing to talk. I have to take care of my church and my family, so I ask that you actually would also leave this building.”
Kevin Ezell, president of the North American Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, said that his organization will step in and provide security for the church if local officials fail to take action.
“For protestors to disrupt a Sunday morning worship service this way is absurd. If elected officials won’t contain lawlessness @NAMB_SBC will provide security,” Ezell said on X. The Epoch Times reached out to the Cities Church for comment but did not receive a response by publication time.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz mobilized his state’s National Guard on Jan. 17 to support public safety amid ongoing protests across multiple cities in the state. The Minnesota National Guard said the soldiers will wear bright yellow reflective vests over their uniforms so protesters can “distinguish them from other agencies” such as ICE.
“These Soldiers are staged, and vehicles and personnel are ready to respond at locations across the metro,” Army Maj. Andrea Tsuchiya, state public affairs officer for the Minnesota National Guard, told The Epoch Times on Jan. 18.

As if we needed more proof that Don Lemon is an opportunistic scumbag, just evil.
AFTER: Lemon: “So let me just make it clear: is this an assistant attorney general? I don’t know, gosh, what’s her name, something Hammond @AAGDhillon ... I didn’t even know they were going to this church until we followed them there… Once the protest started in the church, we did an act of journalism.”
BEFORE: Activist organizer: “We all have the address, right?! Lemon: “This is an operation that is secret. They invited folks out and can’t tell you what is going to happen.” Lemon: “We’re not going to give any of the information away.” Lemon: “You know where you’re going?” Driver: “Yep.” Lemon: “We don’t know what’s happening. We kind of do, but we don’t know how it’s going to play out, right?” Lemon: “We are here. I think maybe if you just have it on the church.” Producer: “Don’t name the location.” Lemon: “I’m not naming the location.” Producer: “Are the congregants really live instead of in service right now?” Lemon: “No, but they’ll be like, ‘Why is Don Lemon here Sunday morning? Sunday morning church.’”

Lemon is trying to resurrect his career. He’s not astute enough to ensure he hasn’t exposed himself to legal consequences. He’s been a DEI privileged individual most of his life and can’t conceive that he’s in peril now.
