Conservative journalist Nick Sortor was brutally attacked by what he described as "Somali thugs" in Minneapolis, with local police reportedly shrugging off the violent assault that left him robbed and dragged by a moving vehicle.

Sortor, whose fearless reporting has exposed the thuggery of anti-ICE rioters and criminal immigrants in Minneapolis, appears to have been specifically targeted by radicals who have been circulating his photo for "street identification purposes."

"Ripped the camera out of my hand," Sortor described of the brazen daylight attack, which occurred as he was documenting the chaos that has consumed the Democrat-controlled city under failed liberal leadership.

But here's the kicker, Patriots: When Sortor sought help from Minneapolis police, they allegedly just shrugged. That's right – in Joe Biden's America turned upside down, the cops won't protect journalists exposing the truth about imported criminals terrorizing our streets.

Targeted for Telling the Truth

This wasn't some random crime. Sortor's effective reporting – which has already led to at least one arrest – has made him enemy number one among the radical left-wing mobs that control Minneapolis streets. These criminals have been actively sharing his image to identify and target him, essentially putting a bounty on his head for the crime of journalism.

The attackers didn't stop at robbery. They physically dragged him with their vehicle, showing the level of violence these imported thugs are willing to use against anyone who dares shine a light on their criminal behavior.

"At least Minneapolis Police haven't erroneously arrested" him, sources noted – because apparently not being wrongfully arrested is the best Patriots can hope for in Democrat-run hellholes.

This is what happens when Democrats prioritize protecting illegal immigrants and radical activists over law-abiding Americans. While President Trump prepares his mass deportation plans, cities like Minneapolis continue to coddle the very criminals who should be on the first bus out of the country.

How many more journalists need to be attacked before we admit that Democrat policies have turned American cities into Third World war zones? And when will we start holding these so-called "public servants" accountable for refusing to protect the very citizens they swore to serve?

What exactly were the cops told by their superiors? There has to be more to this story about why they didn't intervene.

This is absolutely disgusting! When journalists can't safely report the news without being attacked while police stand by and do nothing, we've lost our country.

Completely agree. This is what happens when liberal DAs refuse to prosecute crimes.

This is what happens when you defund the police and let radical activists run your city into the ground.

Nick Sortor is one of the few real journalists left willing to report on what's actually happening in these cities. Praying for his safety!

He's doing the work the mainstream media refuses to do. Stay strong Nick!

My husband and I used to love visiting Minneapolis for weekends. Haven't been back since all the riots and it sounds like we made the right choice. So sad what's happened to that city.

I live here and can confirm the police have been completely neutered since 2020. They're scared to do their jobs because of all the anti-cop rhetoric from city leadership.
