Traders assign near-certainty to charges against Don Lemon not being dropped by the May 31, 2026 resolution date, reflecting the brief window remaining and the ongoing federal prosecution. Lemon faces civil rights charges under the FACE Act stemming from his January 2026 presence at an anti-ICE protest that disrupted services at a Minnesota church; a grand jury indicted him and others on conspiracy and interference counts, and he entered a not guilty plea at arraignment in February. A superseding indictment has since been filed, with no subsequent motions or rulings indicating dismissal. While legal observers have noted potential constitutional challenges to the charges' application, the compressed timeline and active case status leave scant opportunity for resolution short of an unexpected plea or court action before the deadline.
