Three Family Members Charged with Assaulting Turning Point USA Journalist at Minnesota Protest

A couple and their daughter have been federally charged with assaulting Savanah Hernandez, a Turning Point USA journalist, during an immigration protest outside the Whipple Building in Minneapolis. The incident, which occurred amidst anti-ICE demonstrations, has drawn significant media attention, particularly as the assailants portray themselves as victims in the aftermath. Hernandez, who was covering the protest, was reportedly pushed and assaulted by the trio, leading to their indictment. The father has since expressed regrets about living in the U.S. following public backlash over the assault.
