Flag Burning, Antifa & Arrest: Journalist Nick Sortor Detained in Portland Chaos

🚨 Conservative journalist Nick Sortor was arrested in Portland during chaotic anti-ICE protests — sparking outrage from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and a Trump DOJ investigation.

According to reports, Sortor was filming clashes outside the Portland ICE facility when he stomped out a burning American flag — before being taken into custody by Portland Police on charges of disorderly conduct. His arrest has triggered backlash across conservative media, with MTG calling it “absolutely outrageous,” comparing Portland to a “communist country,” and accusing police of “doing Antifa’s bidding.”

The protests outside the Portland ICE facility have been ongoing since President Trump ordered federal troops to crack down on illegal immigration and expand ICE operations. Demonstrators — many aligned with Antifa and left-wing activist groups — say they are protesting against mass deportations, federal immigration policy, and what they call “abuses” inside detention centers. Night after night, the facility has seen broken windows, fires, fireworks launched at officers, and clashes between protesters and law enforcement.

Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that Trump’s DOJ has ordered a full investigation into the Portland Police Bureau, with Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon leading the probe. Meanwhile, the protests continue to escalate, raising questions about press freedom, Antifa’s role, and how far local authorities will go in policing journalists covering the unrest.
