Remember me
Conservative influencer Nick Sortor has been arrested after allegedly getting into a fight outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility.
Sortor, 27, was released without bond after being arrested in the altercation in Portland, Oregon late Thursday evening.
He was arrested on suspicion of second-degree disorderly conduct along with two people, the Portland Police Bureau said.
It comes after Sortor shared videos earlier this week of clashes outside the Portland ICE facility, which has frequently been targeted by immigration protesters amid Donald Trump's deportation crackdown.
Sortor took to X after he was released, saying: 'Hey (Portland Police): you made a big freaking mistake.'
'You PROVED what we’ve all been saying for years: you’re CORRUPT and CONTROLLED by vioIent Antifa thugs who terrorize the streets.
'You thought arresting me would make me shut up and go away. You couldn’t have been more wrong. Stay tuned.'
Conservative commentator Benny Johnson shared footage of Sortor being detained as he claimed he was 'attacked by Antifa' and branded the arrest 'an open assault on the First Amendment.'

The exact details of how Sortor was arrested are unclear, although the Portland Police Bureau said it came after a number of fights outside the ICE facility on Thursday night.
An earlier incident saw law enforcement briefly detain two other people, and police said it 'continued to monitor the situation and responded after seeing additional fights break out.'
