(NewsNation) — Conservative influencer Nick Sortor, who has 1.2 million followers on X, was among three people arrested outside the Portland Immigration and Customs Enforcement building Thursday night.
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 PROVED what we’ve all been saying for years: you’re CORRUPT and CONTROLLED by violent Antifa thugs who terrorize the streets,” Sortor posted. “You thought arresting me would make me shut up and go away. You couldn’t have been more wrong.”
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.
NewsNation 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.
