Stars are reacting to the news of Don Lemon‘s arrest.
If you didn’t know, the 59-year-old journalist was taken into custody following his coverage of a protest at a church in Minneapolis, Michigan. Don and his producer were reporting on a protest at St. Paul Church on January 18, where it was believed one of the pastors was an ICE official.
