Independent journalist Nick Sortor, 27, was arrested for disorderly conduct Thursday night by the Portland Police Bureau outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

Following his arrest, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi ordered a full investigation into the Portland Police Bureau.

Sortor was filming protesters “getting maced by federal agents,” when they “swarmed/surrounded him, pushed him down into a flower bed, and someone threw a punch,” Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin said after speaking with Sortor.

Sortor “swung back and missed, then disengaged” and walked over to a group of Portland police officers, Melugin added. He was “shocked to be arrested by them, and he sat in the back of a police cruiser while officers figured out what to charge him with.”
