A couple from Minnesota, along with their daughter, has been charged federally for allegedly assaulting a reporter from Turning Point USA during an anti-ICE protest earlier this month.
Christopher Ostroushko, 51, Deyanna Ostroushko, 46, and their 20-year-old daughter Paige Ostroushko, have been indicted for the assault on TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez outside the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Fort Snelling, stated the US Department of Justice on Wednesday.
The disturbing footage from the anti-ICE rally on April 11 outside the Whipple building shows Christopher Ostroushko abruptly pushing Hernandez, 29, to the ground with both hands while shouting, 'Don't f**ing touch my daughter!'
Acting AG issues statement: 'Hernandez was allegedly surrounded, physically assaulted, and shoved to the ground — simply because she was identified by the defendants as a conservative journalist.'
The assault resulted in neck pain, a sprained knee, and multiple bruises for the conservative journalist, according to her claims.
Additionally, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office revealed on Wednesday that Christopher Ostroushko has been charged with fifth-degree assault due to his conduct outside the Whipple Building.
