Savanah Hernandez's attacker drops restraining order after her parents lose against reporter in Minnesota court

Savanah Hernandez, a reporter for TPUSA Frontlines, says the final restraining order sought against her by members of the Ostroushko family has been voluntarily dismissed, marking another legal setback for the Minnesota family charged with assaulting her during an anti-ICE protest earlier this year. The attack was caught on camera.

Hernandez announced on social media that Paige Ostroushko voluntarily dismissed her petition for a restraining order after Chris and DeYanna Ostroushko previously failed to obtain permanent orders against the journalist in Hennepin County court.

"Paige Ostroushko, who violently assaulted me in Minneapolis, has voluntarily dismissed her restraining order against me after her parents LOST against me in court," Hernandez wrote.

The development follows a contentious legal battle that began after an April 11 confrontation outside the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis, where Hernandez was reporting on anti-ICE demonstrations. Federal prosecutors later charged Christopher "Chris" Ostroushko, DeYanna Ostroushko, and Paige Ostroushko in connection with the assault. All three have pleaded not guilty, and the criminal case remains pending.

Following the incident, members of the Ostroushko family sought ex parte harassment restraining orders against Hernandez, alleging she had harassed, threatened, and doxxed them. The requests drew attention because they came after the family had been criminally charged in connection with the confrontation and were seen attacking Hernandez on camera.

Earlier this month, a Hennepin County judge denied Chris and DeYanna Ostroushko's requests for permanent restraining orders after a hearing. Hernandez said Paige Ostroushko has now voluntarily dismissed her own case rather than proceeding to a hearing. "Paige has now voluntarily dismissed her case and doesn't seem to want to show up to make her case, despite putting on a legal document that I have been 'threatening' and 'doxxing' her and her family," Hernandez wrote.

They were the ones that attacked HER! All three of the family members belong in jail.

All three members of that O. Family are violent thugs.
I had been hoping they would be quickly deported back to
Poland. Apparently, not.

These groundless restraining orders from the bullies to the victim are nothing more than delaying tactics, hoping to make the victim (Ms Hernandez) run out of money for court costs or legal representation. IOW, they are what I now understand to be called “Lawfare”.

I wish “journalists” would learn how to write headlines clearly.

Your comment about the confusing headline is spot on. I also did not comprehend who or what was happening regarding the subject matter.

The perps are a family of Ukrainians. Figures.
