Bondi’s push on press freedom sparks First Amendment clash
TL;DR Summary
A Daily Kos piece argues that Attorney General Pam Bondi used a Fox News interview to justify the arrest of journalist Don Lemon (and Georgia Fort) over coverage of an anti-ICE protest, claiming the actions threaten the First Amendment. The article frames the arrests as part of a broader pattern under Trump to suppress dissent and press coverage, noting Lemon and Fort were released and will continue reporting while urging vigilance on free speech rights.
