2 suspects indicted in assault of TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez during Minneapolis ICE protest: sources

Two people face federal indictments for allegedly assaulting Turning Point USA reporter Savanah Hernandez at a Minneapolis ICE protest in April.

A federal grand jury handed down indictments for two individuals connected to the assault on Turning Point USA reporter Savanah Hernandez at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest in Minneapolis earlier this month, Fox News Digital has learned.

The suspects were indicted on Tuesday, federal sources told Fox News Digital, though their names have yet to be released. The sources said the indictment is expected to be unsealed later Wednesday.

The incident happened on April 11 outside the Whipple Federal Building, where a protest was taking place over a local ICE field office that also serves as a detention facility.


Video shows protesters swarming Hernandez, blowing horns in front of her face, yelling obscenities and waving adult novelty products in front of her, as she tries to cover herself and run away.

Hernandez is seen moving away from the protesters before saying, “get away from me” to a protester who continued to be up close to her. The protester then pushed Hernandez, who fell on the wired fence.

The FBI had announced it was investigating hours after videos of the attack started to surface.
