The Department of Justice today announced the unsealing of a federal grand jury indictment charging Christopher Ostroushko, Deyanna Ostroushko, and Paige Ostroushko with assaulting a journalist while she was reporting on an anti-ICE protest on federal property in St. Paul Minnesota on April 11, 2026. Christopher Ostroushko and Paige Ostroushko are also charged with willfully and forcefully injuring and intimidating that journalist.
“These three individuals were indicted by a grand jury for allegedly assaulting journalist and Turning Point USA contributor Savannah Hernandez, while she was lawfully reporting on anti-ICE protests outside a federal building in St. Paul,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “Hernandez was allegedly surrounded, physically assaulted, and shoved to the ground — simply because she was identified by the defendants as a conservative journalist. That is NOT ‘peaceful protest.’ These deplorable actions as charged in the indictment will not be tolerated in America, and this Department of Justice will always punish unhinged acts of political violence.”
“Political violence is a national scourge,” said United States Attorney Daniel N. Rosen for the District of Minnesota, “and federal law enforcement will not tolerate it.”
FBI, HSI and the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the case.

Those Ostroushkos are a nasty breed
It has to be the feds. The local city/district attorney just won’t do their jobs.
Good on ya, ya wankers.
What a great scene. Never saw that scene or the movie before. Add to my list.
Now, what does it have to do with this story about the Ostroushkos?
The charges were issued by summons, meaning they were not arrested and are required to appear in court (scheduled for May 12).
Christopher Ostroushko additionally faces a separate state misdemeanor fifth-degree assault charge from Hennepin County.
As of today, they remain free pending their court appearances. Some earlier coverage noted they were initially arrested or detained at the scene but released, with no ongoing detention after the federal indictment. Court proceedings could lead to future developments, such as conditions of release if they appear.
Good. Hope they’re given serious time.
They are probably already in Canada.
Sadly, not going to hold my breath......
WHAT “NATIONALITY” ARE THOSE LAST NAMES?
Take a guess. They have a whole Zeeper fan club.
One whole hell of a lot because, “the process is often the punishment. ”
Attorneys’ fees in Federal indictment cases usually start at about $100,000 an go up from there. This could be a really tough one because so much of the evidence is already on video.
Dang. The man looks like Mussolini in mid-stroke
The manhunt is on to ID the “dildo lady” also.
Part of their punishment should include having a whistle blown in their ear for 30 minutes straight. See how they like it.
Pipe into their prison cells all of Charlie Kirk’s podcasts, radio shows, anything he has ever said to them over and over again!
Oooh...that’s good! And maybe cycle that with “The Best of Tom Homan”.
