St. Paul Police Open Investigation After ICE Protest at Church

The St. Paul Police Dept. has opened an investigation after anti-ICE protesters crashed a church service … and Don Lemon may be ensnared.

St. Paul police tell TMZ … the department is actively working the Sunday incident as a disorderly conduct investigation.

Due to the open case, police declined all other questions … including whether Lemon was exempt from the investigation.

Police were called by several Cities Church parishioners, reporting approximately 30 to 40 protesters interrupted services … because they believed a pastor works for ICE. Don Lemon was on scene working as an independent journalist … and was live-streaming as he tried to interview the lead pastor on the spot. The man, identified as David Easterwood, was not present.

Police tell us … by the time officers arrived on scene, the group had moved outside the church and began to walk down the alley. Officers stayed on scene to monitor.
