Lemon said he was covering the protest as an independent journalist on Sunday when a group entered the church and confronted the pastor, whom they accused of being an immigration enforcement agent and questioned him about his faith. Three protesters were arrested. Lemon was not, despite widespread outcry from prominent conservatives.
"I think it's not over because it doesn't matter if there's no law to fit," Lemon said. "They will try to fit or retrofit something or go around a judge and just do it themselves."
