In a shocking escalation of federal overreach, three-time Emmy Award-winning journalist Georgia Fort and former CNN anchor Don Lemon were arrested by federal agents in connection with their coverage of an anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church earlier this month. Georgia Fort, who recently joined us on this program to discuss the ICE-involved killing of Renee Nicole Good and the critical importance of why Black communities cannot ignore ICE, was taken into custody at her home this morning. These arrests come despite a federal magistrate judge previously refusing to issue warrants, citing a lack of evidence of criminal behavior. We are joined by a panel of experts to discuss the criminalization of journalism, the weaponization of the DOJ, and the broader implications for civil rights in America: Martin Reynolds: Co-Executive Director of the Maynard Institute for Journalism Education. Daryle Lamont Jenkins: Executive Director/Editor of One People’s Project and Idavox. In this episode, we explore: The targeted nature of these arrests following a grand jury indictment. The connection between the "ICE Out" protests and the killing of Renee Nicole Good. The chilling effect on independent media and Black-led journalism. How "religious freedom" laws are being used to shield federal agents from public scrutiny.
