President Donald Trump amplified a call for a former CNN host to be sentenced to 40 years in prison for attending a protest at a church in Minneapolis on Sunday.
Don Lemon, who hosted CNN's "Don Lemon Tonight" from 2014 to 2022, attended a protest on Sunday morning organized by anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement activists at Cities Church in St. Paul, whose pastor, David Easterwood, appears to also lead the agency's local field office.
In the wake of the protest, fans of Trump's MAGA movement called for Lemon and the protesters to be arrested.
Trump amplified those calls in a Truth Social post on Monday.
"A small group of elderly ladies were protesting at an abortion clinic and were given 40 years in prison for violating the FACE Act," the post Trump shared read in part. "I would like to see the same kind of sentence for Don Lemon and the people that (sic) broke into the church during the service."
Trump's post happened as his immigration policies face mounting criticism from Democrats. ICE officer Jonathan Ross recently shot and killed a Minneapolis mother named Renee Good, 37, who was trying to leave the scene of an immigration raid in her neighborhood.
Good's killing revived calls for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to be impeached or resign.
