DOJ signals probe into brutal assault of Conservative journalist filming anti-ICE riot
[media=https://youtu.be/j7CaWNavFGo]
A top Justice Department official said Saturday the federal agency was “on it” after a reporter for a conservative news outlet was apparently attacked while filming footage in Minneapolis.
Turning Point USA’s “Frontlines” reporter Savanah Hernandez posted multiple videos of mob members opposed to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in the Minneapolis area seemingly attacking her Saturday. After Hernandez posted photos of one assailant — a man charged in connection with the storming of a St. Paul-area church — Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet K. Dhillon responded in to the post on X.
“On it,” Dhillon said in response to Hernandez’s post, in which the TPUSA reporter accused William Scott Kelly of “inciting” the anti-ICE protesters to attack her. Kelly was indicted in January on charges of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (“FACE”) Act, in addition to conspiracy against rights after the Cities Church incident, which was livestreamed by former CNN host Don Lemon.
