"According to the Department of Homeland Security, Lemon is being charged with conspiracy to deprive rights and interfering by force with someone’s First Amendment rights. He is due before a magistrate judge in California later today."

There was a lawyer on there who said a Grand Jury was used, much easier for a prosecutor to get an indictment
