After Lemon was arrested in Los Angeles, where he was preparing to cover an awards show for his podcast, Lowell confirmed his client was taken into custody late Thursday and said that, as a journalist, his "constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done."
Lowell slammed the Justice Department for pursuing Lemon instead of federal immigration agents involved in law enforcement shootings of alleged agitators Renee Good and Alex Pretti in recent days.
"This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court."

Then-Rep. Gary Condit, D-Calif., who was a person of interest in Chandra Levy’s disappearance; Federal Reserve Board Gov. Lisa Cook, who has been fighting attempted firing by the Trump administration; and lobbyist Jack Abramoff all counted Lowell as a legal defender.
He also represented first daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, during a 2016 election-season probe into alleged Russian interference.
