A superseding indictment was returned on Friday in the Don Lemon Minnesota church siege case.
The superseding indictment is currently under seal, however, local media is reporting that at least nine more people were taken into federal custody and charged on Friday.
It is unclear who was arrested. The names have not been released.
Kare11 reported:
KARE 11 confirmed at least nine more people were arrested in connection with a St. Paul church protest last month that already saw the high-profile arrests of journalists Georgia Fort and Don Lemon, as well as attorney and activist Nekima Levy Armstrong.
KARE’s Lou Raguse said sources reported those arrested were taken to the federal courthouse in St. Paul, where they’re expected to make their first court appearances Friday afternoon.
As of 9:30 a.m., officials had not released any identifying information about those arrested.
Lemon, Fort, Armstrong, and several other activists were taken into custody by federal authorities and subsequently released in the days following the protest. At least five of them have now pleaded not guilty to federal civil rights charges.
At least nine people, including former CNN host Don Lemon were previously charged with 18 USC 241, Conspiracy to Deprive Rights and 18 USC 248, Violation of the FACE Act.
Read the indictment here.
The indictment said Don Lemon “oppressed, threatened, and intimidated the Church’s congregants and pastors by physically occupying most of the main aisle and rows of chairs near the front of the Church, engaging in menacing and threatening behavior…”
The indictment also alleges Don Lemon “physically obstructed” congregants as they “attempted to exit and/or move about within the Church.”
Last month, Don Lemon livestreamed as anti-ICE protestors stormed a church in St. Paul because the pastor supposedly worked for ICE.
“This is the beginning of what’s going to happen here,” Lemon said as anti-ICE protestors shouted down the pastor and harassed parishioners.
Don Lemon pleaded not guilty to the charges.
