Overview
- Savanah Hernandez, who was reporting in Minneapolis on Saturday, says a man shoved her to the ground while she covered an anti–Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest outside the Whipple Federal Building.
- New footage Hernandez posted Monday appears to capture Chris Ostroushko telling his daughter to retrieve a whistle and blow it in Hernandez’s ear moments before the confrontation.
- Hennepin County deputies arrested Ostroushko and Lorenzo Garcia for obstruction with force, and they arrested Paige Ostroushko for disorderly conduct after reviewing the clash.
- Federal authorities are now investigating, with the FBI and the Justice Department opening a criminal probe into the assault, according to the latest reports.
- Hernandez says she is now afraid to keep doing street reporting after the attack, which involved a whistle near her ear, and doctors warn such blasts can damage hearing.
