A CNN reporter and his crew have been released from custody after being arrested on-air Friday morning while covering the ongoing protests in Minneapolis over the police-involved killing of George Floyd. Another officer eventually approaches his right side and tells Jimenez “you are under arrest.”“Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa!” one of the crew members interjects, telling police that he and the crew repeatedly have identified themselves as being with the media. Police reportedly claimed Jimenez and the crew were taken into custody because they were told to move and didn’t listen. The Minnesota State Police tweeted a statement, saying the CNN crew was released once they were confirmed to be members of the media. The Trump Campaign even chimed in, mocking the city’s leadership and noting they “outrageously arrested a CNN crew.”Fox News' Brian Flood contributed to this report.
