Watch: TPUSA Reporter Attacked by Mob at Anti-ICE Protest

What began as a routine assignment for a 🏛️Turning Point USA reporter quickly spiraled into chaos for a journalist covering a protest outside Minneapolis over the weekend.

According to the New York Post, Savanah Hernandez said she arrived Saturday at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building to film activity tied to an 🛂Anti-ICE demonstration. For nearly an hour, she said, there were no issues.

That changed abruptly.

“I was there for almost an hour, untouched, and then one of the left-wingers identified me and a mob started forming,” Hernandez recounted.

The situation escalated as demonstrators began confronting her directly. According to Hernandez, one woman got in her face, pushing her and shouting insults.

A second protester joined in, repeatedly blowing a whistle close to Hernandez’s ear.

“I very much realized then that they were not going to leave me alone, so I started walking out of the protest and, of course, they all followed me. And this girl is right in my ear, blowing this whistle,” she said.

Moments later, the encounter turned violent.

Video footage shows the whistle-blowing protester punching Hernandez in the face, knocking her backward into a fence. As she attempted to get up and leave, another confrontation broke out nearby, with someone shouting, “Don’t f**king hit my daughter!”
