A journalist filmed an ICE protest at a Minnesota church. Then federal agents showed up at her door
After Georgia Fort and Don Lemon reported from a church whose pastor reportedly works for ICE, agents arrested Fort in front of her children
When federal agents arrived at Georgia Fort’s front door to arrest her, she knew what to do: be a journalist.
Fort, an independent Minnesota reporter who faces criminal charges after covering a protest inside a St Paul church, took out her phone and spoke directly to the camera, livestreaming to her audience that her lawyer advised her to go with the agents. Her three kids were in the house at the time, she said.
“I’m going to have to hop off here and surrender to agents,” she said in the video on 30 January. “As a member of the press, I filmed the church protest a few weeks ago, and now I’m being arrested for that. It’s hard to understand how we have a constitution, constitutional rights, when you can just be arrested for being a member of the press.”

Federal Agents Arrest Independent Minnesota Journalist Over Church Protest
Federal agents arrested independent journalist Georgia Fort at her home on January 30, 2026, in connection with her coverage of a demonstration at a St. Paul church earlier that month. Fort was one of two reporters charged after filming a January 18 protest inside Cities Church.
As reported by The Guardian, the arrest occurred in front of Fort’s children after she livestreamed the encounter to her followers. Prosecutors filed charges against Fort and former news anchor Don Lemon for their presence during the religious service disruption.
The legal action involves nearly 40 individuals charged under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. While typically used for reproductive health clinics, the law includes a rarely invoked provision regarding the interference of religious freedom at places of worship.
