(CNN) — A conservative influencer who this week posted videos of clashes outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, Oregon, has been released without bond after he was arrested late Thursday night during what police characterized as a fight.
Nick Sortor, 27, of Washington, DC, was arrested on suspicion of second-degree disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, along with two people from Oregon, the Portland Police Bureau said early Friday in a news release.
Now, the Justice Department is investigating Sortor’s arrest near the South Portland facility that has become the latest flashpoint in a city with a long history of loud protests and is now in a key target of the Trump administration’s broader crime crackdown in large Democratic-led cities.
