❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating an assault on Savanah Hernandez, a contributor to Turning Point USA, during an anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Hernandez was attacked by multiple people while covering the protest outside the Whipple Federal Building. 📺 DETAIL: The protest was part of ongoing demonstrations against federal immigration enforcement at the Whipple Building. The federal site has been attracting significant protest activity since Operation Metro Surge, a large-scale deportation operation in Minnesota that was abandoned after two anti-ICE agitators were killed during clashes with federal agents. The Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office reported four arrests related to the incident, including three for assault and one for obstruction. 💬 KEY QUOTE: “For far too long, the violent left has been allowed to get away with repeated attacks on journalists. I’m looking forward to justice being served after what happened yesterday,” Hernandez stated following the announcement of the investigation. 🎯 IMPACT: The investigation by the FBI highlights growing concerns for the safety of journalists covering pro-illegal immigrant demonstrations, and the ongoing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement. 📺 WATCH: Hernandez’s footage of anti-ICE agitators mobbing and assaulting her, and a second angle showing an agitator identified as Chris Ostroushko violently shoving her to the ground from behind. |
