PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Conservative influencer Nick Sortor, who has 1.2 million followers on X, was among three people arrested outside the Portland Immigration and Customs Enforcement building Thursday night.
According to Portland police, just before 11:20 p.m., multiple fights broke out and officers arrested three people, including Sortor, 27.
Sortor, along with the others arrested, all face second-degree disorderly conduct charges, a Class B misdemeanor in Oregon.
According to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office booking for Sortor, he was released Friday morning on his own recognizance.
On Friday morning, Sortor took to X to lambaste Portland police, calling them “corrupt” and saying they are controlled by Antifa.
“You PROVED what we’ve all been saying for years: you’re CORRUPT and CONTROLLED by violent Antifa thugs who terrorize the streets,” Sortor posted. “You thought arresting me would make me shut up and go away. You couldn’t have been more wrong.”
Sortor then went on to say that he had been in contact with Attorney General Pam Bondi about launching an investigation into the Portland police.
KOIN 6 News has reached out to AG Bondi’s office for comment. This story will be updated with their response.
Fights broke out throughout the night outside the ICE facility, including a fight between two men, which resulted in them both being detained.
Officials said the pair of men were released a short while later, and neither was looking to press charges.
