The radical left’s grip on Portland is turning the city into a no-go zone for conservatives, and brave journalist Nick Sortor just paid the price—again. On Sunday night, October 5, 2025, Sortor was live-streaming his walk down a public sidewalk near the ICE facility when Antifa thugs swarmed him, ripping his American flag—the one he heroically saved from being burned earlier—from his hands. “I was ONCE AGAIN attacked by Antifa thugs simply for walking down the public sidewalk near ICE Portland,” Sortor posted on X. “They ripped my American flag… out of my hands, but I was able to recover it. LIBERATE PORTLAND, 47!” The entire ordeal was caught on @angertab’s live stream, showing the mob shoving and grabbing at him in broad violation of his rights.

But it gets worse: a patriot in a MAGA hat, identified as @Tommy4Trump420, stepped in to protect Sortor from a chaser in the crowd. “WTF? It looks like @Tommy4Trump420 was ARRESTED for protecting me from some Antifa thug who was attempting to chase me? Am I seeing this wrong???” Sortor questioned. Video shows the defender getting cuffed by Portland PD while the real aggressors walked free—classic woke bias in action.

Another angle from @DivintyMary captures the chaos, with the floral-shirted thug lunging as the crowd closes in. This is the second attack on Sortor this week; he was arrested Thursday for defending himself against the same mob, while his assailant got a pass.

Portland’s descent into anarchy is no secret—Antifa has been running amok since the BLM riots, assaulting reporters like Katie Daviscourt (who got a black eye from a flagpole this week) and now Sortor repeatedly. Trump’s deployment of 200 National Guard troops on September 28, 2025, and labeling Antifa terrorists on September 22 are game-changers, but local Dems like Gov. Tina Kotek are suing to block help, enabling this madness. The feds are investigating PPD for bias after emails showed them blaming victims.
Patriots are rallying: Trump personally messaged Sortor earlier, “We’re behind you 100%.” Sortor’s call to “LIBERATE PORTLAND” echoes the frustration—Oregon deserves better than this woke wasteland. With midterms looming, this attack underscores why we need Trump-style leadership nationwide.
