Turning Point USA Reporter Assaulted at Minneapolis Anti-ICE Protest

MINNEAPOLIS — Prosecutors say they are investigating an assault of a Turning Point USA reporter during an anti-ICE protest Saturday in Minneapolis.

According to prosecutors, the incident occurred near the Whipple Federal Building, where protests were taking place over a local ICE field office that also serves as a detention facility. The county attorney’s office confirmed that two people are under review for charges in connection with the alleged assault.

Turning Point USA contributor Savanah Hernandez said she was “brutally assaulted by multiple people” while filming and reporting on the protest. She stated that protesters swarmed her, blew horns in her face, yelled obscenities, and waved adult novelty products at her as she tried to cover herself and leave the area.

Hernandez reported that she was pushed to the ground multiple times during the incident, including being shoved forward by a man onto concrete after attempting to escape a crowd. She said she yelled for protesters to stop touching her and to leave her alone as she tried to get away.
