Portland Police Arrest Nick Sortor During ICE Protest Clashes

Police cite observed fights as the reason for targeted arrests during unrest outside the ICE facility.

Overview

  • The Portland Police Bureau said its Rapid Response Team moved in around 11:16 p.m. and arrested three people on second-degree disorderly conduct, booking them into the Multnomah County Detention Center.
  • Police identified those arrested as Nicholas Sortor, 27, of Washington, D.C., Son Mi Yi, 43, of Portland, and Angela Davis, 49, of Vernonia, Oregon.
  • Officers reported monitoring the protest, observing multiple fights, and earlier detaining combatants near the ICE driveway with federal authorities before making targeted arrests later in the night.
  • Video posted to social media showed Sortor in handcuffs, and reporter Katie Daviscourt said he had been targeted by Antifa shortly before the arrest.
  • ICE’s Portland director described more than 100 nights of escalating attacks on the facility and doxxing of staff, as President Trump vowed to deploy troops to address Antifa violence.
