In mid-April, TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez was covering an anti-ICE protest outside the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As you probably remember, what happened at this particular scene was a series of assaults by three people who all turned out to be members of one family. Here's video of the incident.
It has now been over two weeks since Paige, Deyanna and Chris Ostroushko violently attacked me and all three are still free.

For two weeks, Paige, Deyanna and Chris Ostroushko were all free but finally the DOJ announced that all three were facing federal charges for assault.
Today, Christopher, Deyanna, and Paige Ostrouchko were indicted by a grand jury for allegedly assaulting journalist and Turning Point USA contributor Savannah Hernandez, while she was lawfully reporting on anti-ICE protests outside a federal building in St. Paul.

Hernandez was…
Hernandez was allegedly surrounded, physically assaulted, and shoved to the ground — simply because she was identified by the defendants as a conservative journalist. That is NOT “peaceful protest.” These deplorable actions as charged in the indictment will not be tolerated in America, and this Department of Justice will always punish unhinged acts of political violence.
I figured it would take some time before the case went to trial but, given that it was all captured on video, the outcome seemed obvious.
On Tuesday, Hernandez posted an update explaining that all three members of the family have served her with restraining orders for allegedly doxing and harassing them. She will now need to prove that the allegations made by the family members are false. Here's what she wrote in her update.
Chris, DeYanna and Paige Ostroushko have all been granted RESTRAINING ORDERS against me for “harassment” and “assault”, after extensively lying about me in their petitions to the court.
Not only did Chris allege that I’m almost 6 FEET TALL, but all three allege that I was the aggressor and have been waging a “hate and defamation campaign” as well as a “doxxing campaign” against them while portraying myself “as the victim”, when I “assaulted them first”.
Chris, whose restraining order is the CRAZIEST of the three, is also petitioning the court to BAN me from speaking about the Ostroushkos on MY OWN social media accounts and is also trying to get me and my ENTIRE FAMILY banned from the county he lives in.
He and Paige are also trying to get me COMPLETELY banned from the Whipple ICE Facility, including the public sidewalk “where the protesters are”.
Paige then states in her petition that I backhanded her twice and then punched her “full contact in the face”.
DeYanna stated in her petition that I grabbed her by the neck and “physically assaulted” her, all while she was simply trying to “protect her daughter”.
The family made sure to have police show up to my house on three separate occasions (instead of just serving these to my lawyer) and due to Minnesota state law, Chris, Deyanna and Paige have already been issued ex parte restraining orders against me, meaning it’s now up to me to show up to court to prove that all of these allegations are untrue.
Every time I think this family can’t get crazier they do!
Here's the video:

No trial date has been set yet for the members of the Ostroushko family. They have pleaded not guilty to the charges but it could be months before this goes to court. Meanwhile, both parents have lost their jobs. So this is not a good situation for them.
Remember that before this attack happened, Chris Ostroushko was making a name at anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis as "MNAngryMan" and was praised by Jen Psaki and the Bulwark's Tim Miller. Neither of them, of course, have any regrets about making this guy into a left-wing folk hero.
