Overview

• Portland police said three people, including Sortor, were arrested after multiple fights broke out outside the ICE building late Thursday.
• Sortor faces a second-degree disorderly conduct count, a Class B misdemeanor in Oregon, and was released Friday morning on his own recognizance, according to county booking records.
• Police have not provided a specific account of what led to Sortor’s arrest, while officials noted other detainees were released when no one pressed charges.
• Sortor told Fox News he believes he was detained for being conservative, and videos he posted show him extinguishing a burning American flag and being confronted by protesters.
• White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the arrest extremely troubling, and Sortor has accused Portland police of corruption and said he contacted Attorney General Pam Bondi seeking an investigation.
