A Minnesota federal magistrate judge refused to sign a complaint charging independent journalist Don Lemon in connection with a protest inside a church in St. Paul on Sunday, multiple sources familiar with the proceedings told CBS News.

"The attorney general is enraged at the magistrate's decision," said a source familiar with the matter. Attorney General Pam Bondi has been in Minnesota for two days, as the Justice Department has sought to surge prosecutorial and law enforcement resources there.

A different source stressed that the process is not over, and the Justice Department could find other avenues to charge Lemon.

On Thursday morning, Bondi announced two arrests connected to the church protest — Chauntyll Louisa Allen, who serves on the St. Paul School Board, and Nekima Levy Armstrong. Bondi alleged that Armstrong was involved in organizing the protest.

A source familiar with the matter confirmed that a magistrate judge approved charges against Allen and Armstrong.
Kristi Noem, the Department of Homeland Security secretary, said Armstrong is being charged with a federal crime under 18 USC 241, a civil rights law that prohibits two or more people from conspiring to interfere with constitutionally protected rights, like the free practice of religion.

Protesters said they entered St. Paul's Cities Church on Sunday, after discovering that an Immigration and Customs Enforcement official appeared to be one of the pastors at the church.

Oh boy....A district court judge assistant....Boy, that settles it right there....lol....What's next, the Janitor refused something?

Magistrates are hired by the District Court judges for a limited number of years. Hired to ease the burden on those District Court judges.

Recall that it was a magistrate that signed the search warrant for MaL, and that guy had already been conflicted over Trump.

Being that both Senators in MN are Democrats, and using 'blue slips', the likelihood is those District Court judges are rather to the left.

Churches are PRIVATE property. If I storm into your private property screaming about ICE, does the first amendment cover that?

Don Le`mon Knew about the invasion of that church and the disruption of that service BEFORE any part of it took place.

He wasn’t “reporting” any news. He was a part of the story. And there’s no reason he shouldn’t get arrested for his involvement.

Breaking into churches terrorizing people is not a 1st Amendment right, but no surprise you'd think it was. After all, who would want to make an example so that something like this never happens again, especially when we all know it will be by Lefties.

But sure, you'd want to let these people off scott free; Tards only throw the book at anyone if they are a republican, MAGA or Trump supporters are involved.

 

[toobfreak]

Just throat punch the twit. He'll fold

I hear oak baseball bats work great for that.

 

[Captain Creeper]

Another biased federal judge. The church should go file a complaint with local PD for trespass and assault.

 

[Captain Creeper]

I guess I can break into some leftist twit's shitty apartment in Shittopia and protest his opposition to enforcing federal immigration law.

Don Lemon is a "journalist" like I'm a master chef (I can barely boil water).
Another leftist fraud skating away, getting a break from another idiot judge.
This shit has got to end.

Calling Lemmon a journalist is like calling Jeffrey Dahmer a chief

Thats what I saw.

That's because your eyes don't lie.
You saw the truth.
Don Lemon was an active participant in this outrageous debacle. He should be in jail right now.
But he'll get his eventually.
The Reckoning is coming ...

Don Lemon's a goddamn idiot. Though I don't know if his involvement constituted breaking the law but the acts of the protestors does. Or they should.

But law aside, they had no business protesting in the the church for a grievance against the pastor. It doesn't make any logical or culpa sense to interrupt the church service. Unless of course, they conflated and expanded the culpability to the congregation by dint of the fallacy of guilt by association.

I think that is exactly why they did it and they were chickenshit in any case for doing so.
