Trump DOJ Uses FACE Act to Arrest Don Lemon, Georgia Fort Over Protest Involvement Lie Federal prosecutors weaponized the FACE Act by falsely labeling journalists as protesters to justify arrests. The Trump DOJ used the FACE Act to arrest journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort by falsely claiming they were involved in a church protest rather than reporting on it. Judges and career prosecutors previously refused to authorize warrants, citing a lack of evidence, but federal authorities bypassed those objections through a grand jury. Georgia Fort was taken from her home while her children were present, and Lemon was arrested while working as a journalist. The case exposes a deliberate misuse of federal law to criminalize journalism and target the Black press. We’ve launched our official Telegram channel.

Bondi needs to be impeached, convicted, and disbarred. When Tramp pardoned all of the J6 insurrectionists, the Dept. of Jokers lost all credibility!

I’m an Irish person, looking on. And all I’m seeing is blatant RACISM and provocation. ICE and DHS remind me of the slave patrols in the 1800s. The sins of the US run deep, and they are finally boiling over. They will not succeed. The current administration is 100% RACIST and morally repugnant. Please know that there are people all over the globe who are utterly disgusted by Trump and his KKK followers.

They’re always trying to change the narrative they know that the only things that they were doing was covering the protests!

If at first you don't succeed, WITH BOGUS CHARGES, try again, WITH MORE BOGUS CHARGES, again. What's chilling is that these journalists will have to shell out for lawyers to defend themselves and THEY HAVE NO RECOURSE. Anybody notice the color of their skin, anybody ?
