Superstar Nicki Minaj is calling out Don Lemon for his participation in an Anti-ICE protest last Sunday that targeted a Minneapolis church. Protestors entered the church on Sunday, chanting slogans and causing disruption. Lemon posted an extensive video depicting the group’s actions. The famous singer and ally of the Trump administration took to social media to condemn Lemon for his involvement.
“HOW DARE YOU?” Minaj said. “I WANT THAT THUG IN JAIL!!!!!”
Minaj recently fought against the persecution of Christians in Nigeria and has joined forces with the Trump administration to bring attention to the issue. In her post criticizing Lemon, she pointed out that the church was specifically targeted by protestors for being Christian.
“HE WOULD NEVER DO THAT TO ANY OTHER RELIGION,” Minaj said. “LOCK HIM UP!!!!!”
Prominent conservatives have echoed Minaj in denouncing Lemon’s involvement in the protest. In a post on X, Daily Wire commentator Matt Walsh also called for Lemon to be prosecuted.
“Today Don Lemon and a group of leftist agitators stormed a church service to protest ICE,” Walsh said. “This is a direct and flagrant violation of the FACE Act, which the Biden Administration used to throw pro-lifers in federal prison for years. Don Lemon and his co-conspirators should be facing federal prison. The Trump Administration must announce those charges immediately.”
The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act specifically prohibits the use of force or intimidation against a person seeking to obtain an abortion, or against anyone seeking to exercise their First Amendment right to practice their religion at a place of worship. The act was extensively used by the Biden administration to prosecute pro-life advocates at abortion facilities.
Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division Harmeet Dhillon indicated the DOJ was taking the matter seriously. She responded to the protest with her own post on X, saying the mater would be investigated for potential violations of the FACE Act.
