Conservative influencer Nick Sortor released after arrest in fight outside Portland ICE building, police say

Nick Sortor was arrested after a confrontation at Portland’s ICE protests amid claims police did not detain alleged attackers; assaults on ICE personnel have risen 1,000%, officials said.

  • On Thursday night, Portland police arrested Nick Sortor, 27, conservative journalist and influencer, at the South Waterfront ICE facility, charging him with second-degree disorderly conduct and booking him into Multnomah County jail.
  • Protests at the ICE site escalated when fights broke out around 8 p.m. and about 11:16 p.m., prompting federal and Portland police arrests after President Donald Trump federalized 200 National Guard troops.
  • Video sources posted to X show Nick Sortor being assaulted by blacked-out attackers shortly before his arrest; he has more than 1.2 million followers and was released from Multnomah County Detention Center without bond.
  • The Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered a full investigation and called Sortor, while the Multnomah County District Attorney's Office is reviewing reports with arraignment set for Monday, October 6th.
  • Critics argue right-wing critics claim PPB selectively arrests conservatives while Oregon state and City of Portland sue to block federal troop deployment.
