Conservative influencer Nick Sortor, with a following of 1.2 million on X, was one of three individuals detained near the Portland Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility on Thursday evening.
Multiple fights broke out before midnight and officers arrested three people, including Sortor, 27, according to Portland police.
Sortor, along with the others arrested, all face second-degree disorderly conduct charges, a Class B misdemeanor in Oregon.
According to the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office booking for Sortor, he was released Friday morning on his own recognizance.
On Friday morning, Sortor took to X to lambaste Portland police, calling them “corrupt” and saying they are controlled by “Antifa.”
“You CONFIRMED what we’ve asserted for years: you’re CORRUPT and UNDER the influence of violent Antifa thugs who harass the streets,” Sortor shared. “You believed arresting me would silence me and make me disappear. You couldn’t have been more mistaken.”
Sortor then went on to say that he had been in contact with Attorney General Pam Bondi about launching an investigation into the Portland police.
affiliate KOIN has reached out to Bondi’s office for comment.
Fights broke out throughout the night outside the ICE facility, including a fight between two men, which resulted in them both being detained.
Officials said the pair of men were released a short while later, and neither was looking to press charges.
