CNN tweet says reporter and crew & #39;were arrested this morning in Minneapolis for doing their jobs, despite identifying themselves - a clear violation of their First Amendment rights. The authorities in Minnesota, incl. the Governor, must release the 3 CNN employees immediately.& #39;

CNN correspondent Omar Jiminez and his production team were handcuffed and detained during live coverage of the Minneapolis protest. Police told them they were being arrested because they didn& #39;t move when they were told to, CNN reports.

Omar Jiminez could be seen on air telling police: & #39;We can move back to where you like. We& #39;re getting out of your way.& #39; CNN reports that its president, Adam Zucker, has spoken with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who said he apologizes and is working to have the crew released.

UPDATE: The CNN reporter and crew members arrested while covering the Minneapolis protests have been released.
