2026年2月27日 / 美国东部时间下午1:50 / CBS新闻

美国司法部周五宣布,将以刑事民权案件为由,指控另外30名被告参与了1月份明尼苏达州圣保罗市Cities教堂的反移民执法(ICE)抗议活动。这起案件还牵涉到记者、前CNN主播唐·莱蒙(Don Lemon)。

该部门在美国明尼苏达州联邦地区法院提起的替代起诉书被解封。司法部长帕姆·邦迪(Pam Bondi)在社交平台X上发表声明称,30人中已有25人被捕,其余人员将陆续到案。

本案最初的9名被告,包括莱蒙和另一名记者,均已作无罪辩护。

新版起诉书未新增任何刑事指控。

起诉书指控所有39人违反了两项民权法律。一项是《 FACE法案》(宗教自由恢复法)下的轻罪,该法案禁止人们恐吓或干扰他人行使宪法赋予的宗教信仰自由权利;另一项是重罪指控,涉及合谋侵犯个人宗教权利。

DOJ says 30 more defendants charged for roles in anti-ICE protest at Minnesota church

The Justice Department on Friday announced it was charging 30 additional defendants for their roles in a January anti-ICE protest at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, in a criminal civil rights case that has also ensnared journalist and former CNN anchor Don Lemon.

The department moved to unseal the superseding indictment in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. Attorney General Pam Bondi in a statement on X said that 25 of the 30 have been arrested, with more to come.

The original nine defendants in the case, including Lemon and another fellow journalist, have all pleaded not guilty.

The new version of the indictment does not add any additional criminal charges.

It accuses all 39 people of violating two civil rights laws. One is a misdemeanor offense in the FACE Act, which prohibits people from intimidating or interfering with people exercising their constitutional freedom to practice religion. The other is a felony charge of conspiring to interfere with individuals’ religious rights.
