Federal suit claims coordinated protest disrupted Minnesota church service, naming Don Lemon

A St. Paul congregant filed a federal lawsuit alleging a coordinated group of demonstrators, including Don Lemon and Nekima Levy Armstrong, disrupted a January church service at Cities Church and caused emotional distress. The suit accuses the defendants of conspiracy, aiding and abetting, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and interference with religious exercise, and notes eight named individuals also face federal charges related to rights violations. Lemon and others have plead not guilty to related charges; the case adds to ongoing protests in the Twin Cities connected to immigration enforcement and political demonstrations.
