Lemon LIVE at 5 | Trump Is Threatening Protesters! - June 10th, 2025

The Trump administration wrongfully deported Abrego Garcia—and they know it. They’ve even admitted it was a mistake. But despite a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling ordering the administration to facilitate his return, they’re refusing to bring him back. So now the question is: can Trump be held in contempt of court? Democratic lawmakers are headed to El Salvador to fight for Garcia’s return, because apparently court orders—and basic human decency—aren’t enough to move this administration. Don breaks it all down: the legal mess, the political fallout, and what this says about a government that’s playing games with people’s lives. It’s outrageous, it’s dangerous, and it’s happening right now. The Don Lemon Show is up for a Webby!

Good Evening Lemon Nation. Harvard president Alan Garber has rejected the Trump administration's request to change DEI programs and other widespread campus reforms. In response, Trump has frozen 2 billion dollars in funding and is threatening to remove the school's tax-exempt status. What caused the university to stand up against the president? Will this courage spread to other universities? Join Don and Gen-Z Historian Kahlil Greene to break down this fight! The Don Lemon Show is up for a Webby!

Today was an especially alarming day at the White House. El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele visited Donald Trump to discuss the relationship between the two countries, specifically relating to U.S. deportations to El Salvadorian prisons. Bukele says he will not be returning the wrongly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and spoke with Trump about the next phase of U.S. "homegrown" deportations. What does this mean?
