前联邦检察官乔·汤普森(Joe Thompson)上个月因与特朗普政府的移民政策有分歧而辞职,他加入了前有线电视新闻网主持人唐·莱蒙的法律团队。 唐·莱蒙是因扰乱圣保罗教堂服务而被起诉的九人之一,当时有一位ICE官员担任过牧师。 Former federal prosecutor Joe Thompson, who resigned last month over disagreements with the Trump administration’s immigration policies, has joined the legal team for former CNN host Don Lemon, one of nine people indicted for disrupting a church service in St. Paul where an ICE official served as pastor. Lemon说,他以记者的身份报道这一事件,计划对联邦民权指控表示无罪,并定于2月13日出庭。 Lemon, who says he was covering the event as a journalist, plans to plead not guilty to federal civil rights charges and is set to appear in court on February 13. 该案是联邦对明尼苏达州欺诈案件进行更广泛调查的一部分,许多案件涉及索马里社区成员,行政当局曾以此为移民执法的理由。 The case is part of a broader federal investigation into fraud cases in Minnesota, many involving members of the Somali community, which the administration has used to justify immigration enforcement. Thompson以前在州内领导重大欺诈起诉工作,现在与前检察官Harry Jacobs共同领导一家新的律师事务所。 Thompson, who previously led major fraud prosecutions in the state, now co-leads a new law firm with former prosecutor Harry Jacobs.
