Federal charges against former CNN host Don Lemon—conspiracy against civil rights and FACE Act violations stemming from his January 2026 coverage of an anti-ICE protest disrupting a St. Paul church service—remain active following his February 13 not guilty plea in U.S. District Court for Minnesota. Despite an initial magistrate judge rejection of arrest warrants and defense claims of First Amendment protections plus contradictory video evidence, a grand jury indictment proceeded, leading to his arrest and release on recognizance. A February 27 superseding indictment added 30 more defendants, signaling DOJ persistence under Attorney General Pam Bondi, with no dismissal for Lemon as of mid-April. Traders' 91.5% consensus for "No" reflects the case's procedural advancement and absence of resolution before the May 31 deadline, though motions to dismiss loom amid historical rarity of FACE Act use against journalists.
