Journalism Under Attack

Journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort were arrested by federal agents in January for their coverage of an anti-ICE demonstration that disrupted a church service at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. They've been charged with conspiracy and interfering with religious freedoms. The journalists say they were just doing their job of reporting the news.

During this special 90-minute episode, local journalists share what it's like to do their job during the Trump administration.
