Speaking on camera from a snowy parking lot in the Twin Cities, Lemon said he had done some “reconnaissance” with activist groups ahead of the storming of Cities Church.

James Woods called Don Lemon the "dingleberry hanging off the ass of American journalism" following his Minnesota church protest coverage.

I’m not surprised Nicki Minaj does not understand journalism and is weighing in on matters that are above her capacity,” Don Lemon said.

Following the controversy over his reporting on Sunday's Minnesota church protest, ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon's past remarks about citizens arming themselves against ICE have resurfaced.

We’re not part of the activists, but we’re here just reporting," the independent journalist said in a video inside a church in Minnesota.

Don Lemon criticized Nicki Minaj after she called for his arrest over covering an anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church.

The ruling made public on Saturday did not identify the names of the five defendants​ for whom the Justice Department is seeking arrest warrants, but multiple sources confirmed to CBS that Lemon is one of them.

Don Lemon offered a defiant message after a federal judge rejected the initial attempt to bring charges against him in connection with Sunday’s anti-ICE protest at St. Paul's Cities Church.
