Former CNN host Don Lemon has pleaded not guilty to charges stemming from his coverage of a protest last month at a church over federal immigration raids in Minnesota.
Lemon, 59, was charged with conspiracy to deprive rights and interfering with religious freedoms by allegedly obstructing someone's First Amendment rights by force.
The arrest came after he went into the Cities Church in St Paul on 18 January with protesters who said one of its pastors was an immigration enforcement official.
He livestreamed the protest in an incident that resulted in charges for eight others as well.
Lemon did not speak as he entered the courtroom on Friday in St Paul, Minnesota, where two dozen protestors were gathered to support him, chanting "[Attorney General] Pam Bondi has got to go", according to the Associated Press.
