Portland police arrest conservative journalist after he prevents American flag from being burned

Conservative journalist Nick Sortor was arrested by Portland police officers Thursday, even as local authorities apparently refused to arrest anti-ICE rioters around a United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in the city.

Sortor was arrested by Portland Police Bureau (PPB) officers on a disorderly conduct charge.

“Last night at the Portland ICE building, we witnessed anti-ICE protesters burning an American flag. Nick Sortor then grabbed it from them, put the flames out, and took away what was left of the flag,” Melugin posted. “Nick was arrested later in the night by Portland PD after videos appear to show him surrounded by anti-ICE protesters.

“Portland is a fucking third world hellhole. If I defend myself, I will be the one who gets arrested. Not the assailant. Antifa is in full control out here. President Trump NEEDS to step in,” Sortor said.

Sortor’s arrest came two days after Post-Millennial reporter Katie Daviscourt was assaulted by an Antifa rioter that PPB officers refused to arrest, despite Daviscourt pointing the alleged assailant out and tracking her for over a half hour.

Attorney General Pam Bondi has ordered a full investigation, led by Asst. AG Harmeet Dhillon, of the Portland Police Bureau, following my wrongful arrest last night, Bondi confirmed to me. FAFO, @PortlandPolice,” Sortor posted. “Pam Bondi personally called me to deliver this news, and I’m incredibly grateful to her for doing so. The Trump DOJ WILL NOT allow Portland Police to continue to do the bidding of Antifa.”
