CNN later reported that that network's president talked to governor, who 'deeply apologizes' calling what happened “totally unacceptable.'
During a live broadcast Friday, Jimenez and his crew were arrested by Minnesota State Patrol after identifying themselves and showing their press credentials."We are live on the air at the moment. This is the four of us, we are one team. Just put us back where you want us, just let us know. Wherever you want us, just let us know," Jimenez tells a row of police officers before an officer comes behind him with handcuffs.
Jimenez said the one thing that gave him a bit of comfort is that it was captured on live television. "Because you can have people speak up for you without you saying anything, so that gave me a bit of comfort knowing you guys saw that was happening," he said."You don't have to doubt my story… but it definitely was nerve racking at certain points."
The incident has sparked backlash on social media, including towards a statement posted to Twitter from the Minnesota State Patrol. "In the course of clearing the streets and restoring order at Lake Street and Snelling Avenue, four people were arrested by State Patrol troopers, including three members of a CNN crew. The three were released once they were confirmed to be members of the media,""That’s not what happened. This is a lie. We all saw it. This spin is erroneous and disingenuous,"
