The Department of Justice (DOJ) will pursue charges against individuals involved in a Jan. 18 protest inside a church in St. Paul, Minnesota, a DOJ official said, adding that former CNN journalist turned YouTuber Don Lemon, who livestreamed the incident, is “on notice.”

Protesters disrupted a Sunday service at Cities Church in St. Paul on Jan. 18, chanting phrases such as “Justice for Renee Good,” following claims that one of the church pastors serves as the acting field office director for ICE in Minnesota.
