() Conservative influencer Nick Sortor tells he never should have been charged after he was among three people arrested outside the Portland Immigration and Customs Enforcement building Thursday night.
A secondary-degree disorderly conduct charge was dropped Monday, hours before Sortor was scheduled to appear in court.
“I’m definitely happy with the victory, but it took a long time. Like this should have been dropped last week,” Sortor said on “Elizabeth Vargas Reports.”
Sortor remains unsure whether the charges were dropped because of a demand letter his team sent, “looking for communications between the police department as well as Antifa and any sort of coordination that they were having.”
He claimed in a post on X on Friday morning that his arrest proved Portland police are corrupt and controlled by “violent Antifa thugs who terrorize the streets.”
Sortor told he was arrested after one person allegedly hit him in the face and broke his camera as he filmed outside the ICE facility, and following another person pushing him into a flower bed.
Police said those individuals have been arrested. They added that Sortor was attempting to elicit a negative response amid ICE protests, something he denies.
“I’m definitely not going to be intimidated in deleting [anything], that’s for sure. And it would be foolish for them to do anything to me … I’m not a guy that’s going to look for a physical confrontation by any means. I’m not built for that.”
