Don Lemon, the renowned journalist, found himself in hot water recently after being arrested during an anti-ICE protest at Cities Church in Minneapolis. His high-profile court appearance in Los Angeles drew significant attention, especially when Judge released him without bail, sparking discussions around the boundaries of press freedom.

This incident raises pressing questions about the safety and protection of journalists, particularly in fraught political climates. Who would have thought navigating the red carpet could come with such heavy baggage?
