Conservative journalist Nick Sortor was reportedly attacked again in Portland, a city known for frequent clashes with Antifa, and the situation escalated when a supporter who came to his aid was arrested.
According to reports, Portland police took Sortor into custody Thursday night after he defended himself against a group of Antifa activists and released him the following day.
Sortor told Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin that he had been filming Antifa members reacting after being sprayed with mace by federal agents when the group turned on him. He was pushed into a flower bed, and one of the assailants attempted to strike him. Sortor said he swung back but missed, then disengaged and approached a group of Portland police officers.
🚨 BREAKING: I was ONCE AGAIN attacked by Antifa thugs simply for walking down the public sidewalk near ICE Portland
They ripped my American flag—the one I saved from being burned—out of my hands, but I was able to recover it.

Despite police presence, Sortor claimed the attackers continued their assault. He posted on X (formerly Twitter) that he was assaulted near the ICE Portland office while walking on the sidewalk. During the encounter, his American flag was torn before he could recover it.
A supporter, Tommy Allen, wearing a MAGA hat, intervened to defend Sortor but was arrested by Portland police for allegedly assaulting one of the Antifa members. Allen stated he acted in self-defense, noting that the individual he struck appeared to be armed and wearing a black bandana.

Sortor and Allen’s supporters have called for federal authorities to step in, arguing that local enforcement failed to protect citizens exercising their right to self-defense.
