Federal prosecutors secured a grand jury indictment against Don Lemon and others for alleged conspiracy and interference with religious exercise at a Minnesota church during a January 2026 anti-ICE protest, following earlier rejections of charges by a magistrate judge for insufficient probable cause. Lemon entered a not guilty plea at arraignment in February 2026, and the case has advanced without dismissal despite defense arguments centered on First Amendment protections and novel application of federal civil rights statutes. Trader consensus at 99.2% against charges being dropped reflects the indictment's durability, ongoing proceedings, and absence of any dispositive ruling or prosecutorial withdrawal in the intervening months. Dismissal remains possible through motions challenging the indictment's legal basis or judicial findings on probable cause.
