The White House is gloating about the arrest of journalist Don Lemon, posting a picture of the former CNN correspondent with the message “When life gives you lemons” and a “chains” emoji on X Friday morning.
Boasting about a Black journalist’s arrest with a “chains” emoji was certainly a choice, evoking racist imagery. Federal agents arrested Lemon Thursday night along with one other Black journalist, Georgia Fort, and two Black activists, Trahern Jeen Crews and Jamael Lydell Lundy. All of them were connected to the anti-ICE protest at a Minneapolis church earlier this month where an ICE agent was serving as pastor. A federal magistrate judge had rejected a criminal complaint against Lemon last week, reportedly enraging Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Three of the protest organizers were also arrested last week, with Bondi posting “Listen loud and clear: WE DO NOT TOLERATE ATTACKS ON PLACES OF WORSHIP” and the White House sharing a doctored image of one of the organizers, civil rights attorney and Minneapolis activist Nekima Levy Armstrong, supposedly crying as she was arrested.
Arresting protesters and journalists are flagrant violations of the First Amendment to the Constitution. The White House appears to be trying to intimidate anyone who opposes its racist immigration agenda—and even towards the journalists attempting to document it.
