Last night, conservative journalist Nick Sortor was wrongfully arrested by Portland police after saving a burning American flag and defending himself against Antifa terrorists.

If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s the footage from his arrest:

Nick Sortor shared more about what happened, in detail, to Fox News‘s Bill Melugin, who reported:

BREAKING: Just spoke on the phone with @nicksortor after he was released from custody. He tells me he’s been charged with disorderly conduct. I asked what happened?

He says he was getting video of protesters getting maced by federal agents, which was embarrassing video for them as they were “crying” etc. He says they then swarmed/surrounded him, pushed him down into a flower bed, and someone threw a punch. Nick says he swung back and missed, then disengaged and walked over to a group of Portland PD.

He says he was then shocked to be arrested by them, and he sat in the back of a police cruiser while officers figured out what to charge him with.

I asked him about the female protester who was also arrested with him. He said he talked to her in the jail and she didn’t seem like she was the one who assaulted him.

Melugin also released this clip from his interview with Nick Sortor:

Following his unjust arrest, Sortor has called for President Trump to step in:

And now, the Trump administration is taking swift action.

Nick Sortor says he received a personal phone call from Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is launching a full investigation into his arrest.

Nick Sortor announced on X:

Bondi has appointed Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon to lead the investigation.

Dhillon confirmed:

Sortor was released from custody after being charged with a misdemeanor.

The Washington Examiner reported:

The Justice Department has ordered an investigation into Portland, Oregon, police over the arrest of Nick Sortor late Thursday, the conservative influencer announced Friday morning.

The Portland Police Bureau released Sortor from custody earlier Friday, hours after he was arrested on charges of second-degree disorderly conduct as violent protests broke out near an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Oregon‘s largest city.

Sortor, a 27-year-old resident of Washington, D.C., was arrested alongside two Oregon residents, according to a press release from the city’s police department. All three people were booked into the Multnomah County Detention Center on the same misdemeanor charge.

Sortor said the DOJ investigation into his “wrongful arrest” will be led by Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon, adding that Attorney General Pam Bondi called him to “deliver this news.” He was ecstatic about the federal department’s decision.

“The Trump DOJ WILL NOT allow Portland Police to continue to do the bidding of Antifa,” he wrote on X, telling Portland police to “f*** around and find out.”

The arrests were made during a chaotic scene outside the Portland ICE facility, where agitators were getting involved in fights with other people. Sortor got caught in the middle.

But, that’s not all…

In addition to the DOJ investigation, President Trump has ordered federal aid to Portland to be cut and told Pete Hegseth to deploy active-duty troops!

Karoline Leavitt just made these announcements:

Portland made a giant mistake…

They are about to learn a tough lesson, the hard way.
