Former CNN anchor Don Lemon taken into custody after protest at Minnesota church service - CBS News

  . . ."The Justice Department has been scrutinizing a video of a pre-meeting that Lemon filmed before the protest, the source said. That meeting was attended by a number of the defendants, including Allen, Armstrong and Jamael Lydell Lundy. The Justice Department has been focusing on the gathering as alleged evidence of a conspiracy to interfere with people's religious rights. Lemon was filming the meeting as part of his reporting, the source added. Lundy was among the four people arrested overnight." . . .

Ex-CNN host Don Lemon arrested for Minnesota church invasion  "Disgraced ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested in Los Angeles early Friday over the anti-ICE protest that stormed a Minneapolis church during Sunday service, according to his attorney and US Attorney General Pamela Bondi.

" 'Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents … in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards,” Lemon’s attorney Abbe Lowell said in a statement shared with multiple reporters.

"He was one of four people arrested by federal agents early Friday “in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota,” Bondi later confirmed in a statement." . . . Below: comment to this post:

"The same mouths that say Lemon is a jour[n]alist also claim Nick Shirley isn't one, even though Shirley has uncovered the scam of the century. Lemon? Not so much."

Soros-Funded Protest Groups Fan Flames of Anti-ICE Violence

National Legal And Policy Center   

"Like today’s anti-ICE demonstrators, the instigators of the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots were funded by ultra-wealthy white people. George Soros and other billionaires who finance the mayhem have benefited the most from capitalism and the rule of law, yet they seek to tear it all down."

"In November, I wrote that the left is awaiting an event that will allow them to instigate widespread political violence. I theorized that because debt-laden Western economies hadn’t seen a downturn since 2008, the next economic crisis might provide the opportunity. But when billionaires like George Soros and Neville Singham provide you with a bottomless pit of money for organization and agitation, why wait for such an unpredictable event?

"Confronting ICE appears to be the ticket. It’s happening in all parts of the country, and not by accident. In Minneapolis, a woman named Renee Nicole Good, who was following around ICE agents in an SUV, was shot and killed by an ICE agent who had been previously injured in a car-ramming incident. The left responded with outrage (although no doubt privately celebrating; every movement needs a martyr) including by breaking the windows of the federal courthouse in Minneapolis.

"The protests spread across the country. MoveOn, which along with Indivisible is one of the two main Soros-funded groups organizing the nationwide “No Kings” protests, wasted no time in emailing its activists, charging that Good “was murdered point-blank…while peacefully observing an ICE operation out of concern for her neighbors,” in an “extrajudicial killing by ICE agents.” Recipients were urged to sign a petition to Congress to unmask ICE agents. Indivisible convened a “rapid response call” with the ACLU (also Soros-funded) and “local MN partners” to “learn more about how you can take action this weekend!”

"The legacy media noted the difference between Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s characterization of Good as a “domestic terrorist” and “local officials” who are condemning ICE.

"Governor Tim Walz, who routinely refers to ICE agents as the “Gestapo,” issued a warning that he would mobilize the Minnesota National Guard to “protect Minnesotans” from “rogue ICE agents.” Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey told ICE to “get the f*** out of Minneapolis,” and accused ICE of coming to the city to “literally kill people.” Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan urged activists to “put your body on the line” to stop ICE agents from “kidnapping” people.

"Of course, ICE is in Minneapolis because it is ground zero for the public benefits fraud scandal to which these very “local officials” are part and parcel. Somali immigrants ripped off taxpayers for billions, allowing for millions in campaign contributions to Democratic politicians. The crisis is deeper than illegal immigration." . . .  More...

Soros-Backed Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner Calls ICE Agents ‘Wannabe Nazis;' Vows to Hunt Them Down - National Legal And Policy Center   

"Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has officially abandoned any pretense of upholding the rule of law. In a move that signals a total breakdown of constitutional order, Krasner announced on January 27 a coalition of radical District Attorneys—including four from Virginia—committed to the criminal prosecution of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

"Rather than focusing on the violent crime wave paralyzing his own city, Krasner is shifting taxpayer resources to “hunt down” federal officers for the “crime” of enforcing our nation’s laws."

Brit who was left paralysed at 21 after breaking his neck on holiday reveals what it's like to have Elon Musk's brain chip

Daily Mail Online  

'" It's mindblowing - you can see the level of control that he has,' said Harith Akram, a neurosurgeon and lead of the UCLH trial."

"One of the first British patients to receive Elon Musk's controversial brain-computer implant has described what it is like to live with the futuristic chip.

"Sebastian Gomez-Pena is taking part in the first UK clinical trial of the Neuralink device, which allows users to control a computer using only their thoughts.

"The former medical student, who was left paralysed from the neck down after a devastating accident two years ago, told Sky News: 'It is a massive change in your life where you can suddenly no longer move any of your limbs. 

"'This kind of technology kind of gives you a new piece of hope.'

"The billionaire tech tycoon has suggested the implant could one day be rolled out to the general public, saying his ultimate ambition is to create a mass-market brain-computer interface that would directly link human minds with powerful machines to achieve 'symbiosis with artificial intelligence'.

"Mr Gomez-Pena, a keen cellist and rugby player, was in his third year of medical school when, aged 21, he dived into shallow water on holiday and struck his head, causing permanent spinal cord damage.

"He is now one of seven participants in the UK trial assessing the safety and reliability of the device in severely paralysed patients. 

"Neuralink has said its mission is to 'restore autonomy to those with unmet medical needs and unlock new dimensions of human potential'." . . . More illustrations here.

Police union head slams Minn. as Gov. Walz agrees to have top cop work with border czar

 NY Post  (And also now the California Post)  

“ 'Since the Republican National Convention was held in St. Paul back in 2008, Minnesota law enforcement has undergone extensive training in mobile field force configurations and crowd management for major events. And because of that, I think we’re in the best position to deal with that,” Ross said." 

Peaceful Protest | The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

"MINNEAPOLIS — The head of a major Twin Cities police union slammed local officials for blocking cooperation between local cops and ICE and Border Patrol agents – saying if they had been involved, “there would be no loss of life.”

"It comes as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz agreed to have his top cop work with President Trump’s border czar Tom Homan after he rushed to Minneapolis Monday — after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was sidelined.

"St. Paul Police Federation President Mark Ross blamed state and local officials for the anti-ICE protest violence — saying that if highly trained cops were allowed to work with the feds, it likely would have prevented the killing of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

“ 'Unfortunately, our local politicians would not allow us to do that,” he added.

"As a result ICE and Border Patrol agents — who are not trained to deal with civilian protests in the same way — have been all on their own to deal with angry locals.

"He said that such cooperation didn’t even require changing Minnesota’s sanctuary laws — or helping ICE make immigration arrests. 

“ 'Had we been allowed just a little bit of coordination –  not in terms of what ICE is doing, but if they say, ‘Hey, we need to go to this place to serve a warrant, we’re going to be out there a couple hours. We’re nervous that crowds are going to form and give us trouble. Can you come out and help?’ That’s something we can easily coordinate with a little bit of notice, and sometimes with hardly any notice, we can get out there quickly,” Ross said.

“ 'I believe, had we been able to do that, that there would be no loss of life at this point,” he said." . . .

What’s Really Causing the Minnesota ‘Insurrection’?  

Walz certainly has not been innocent in the outbreak of anti-ICE violence, having denounced the federal agents as “Trump’s modern-day Gestapo.” That remark was made last May, months before Donald Trump’s recent “surge” of ICE to Minnesota, which followed in the wake of a viral video by independent journalist Nick Shirley that exposed apparent fraud in the state’s Somali immigrant community. Many commentators immediately saw the connection: Walz and his fellow Democrats in Minnesota are up to their eyeballs in the fraud scandal — estimated to involve billions of dollars stolen from taxpayer-funded benefit programs — and the deportation of illegal immigrants threatens to break the Democratic Party’s control of the state’s government. (RELATED: Blame Tim Walz for the Federal Presence in Minnesota)

About Pretti’s Gun: An Inconvenient Truth (For The Left)

. . . "There is a call of “Gun, Gun, Gun!” and then Pretti moves his hand with something in it. There’s no time for calm reflection." . . .

. . . "The law is clear. In Barnes v. Felix (2025), a unanimous Supreme Court held that an officer was entitled to consider the totality of circumstances when reacting to a situation. From the viewpoint of the officers, it’s clear that they were responding to a perceived deadly force threat. They were fully justified in firing until they determined that the threat was neutralized. They did not have to make perfect decisions. They had to make decisions that would be reasonable to another officer placed in the same situation." . . .
