A federal grand jury handed down indictments for two individuals connected to the assault on Turning Point USA reporter Savanah Hernandez at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement protest in Minneapolis earlier this month, Fox News Digital has learned.

The suspects were indicted on Tuesday, federal sources told Fox News Digital, though their names have yet to be released. The sources said the indictment is expected to be unsealed later Wednesday.

The incident happened on April 11 outside the Whipple Federal Building, where a protest was taking place over a local ICE field office that also serves as a detention facility.

I'm glad to see this. Democrats think violence against conservatives is to be commended so the local prosecutors do nothing. It is good the feds stepped in.

We know one is the obese suburban dad. The other: daughter or wife? I’m betting daughter.

I’ve read it was his daughter, she was really the one that instigated the whole thing. Then the father thought it was a good excuse to be an absolute THUG.

He has it coming...

“”I’m betting daughter.””

Either one, I hope their punishment is locked up in a room with someone blowing a whistle in their face for hours on end until they yell for mercy - just like they did to the reporter...fitting punishment..

As an aside, disgraced former FBI Director James Comey just surrendered himself and is under arrest at the courthouse, due to his charges of threatening President Trump’s life.

I want to see his mugshot on the front of NYTimes and WaPo.

I’m betting the daughter as well. For one thing, loudly blowing that whistle in Savannah’s ear was an assault.

Ecc 8:11 When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people’s hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.

I wish the left could UNSEE Trump giving team Hillary a pass.

Looks like in spite of an ARREST warrant being issued, Comey will NOT BE ARRESTED (cuffs, perpwalk, released mugshot). This will further embolden the LEFT and push the RIGHT further in the direction of vigilantism.

I’m not sure. Every article is just a repeat of the original one. Nothing about the charge on which they were indicted. I assume the indictment will soon be released and we will know. But as others have said, it is probably due to the assault being on federal property.

Feds must step in. Extreme civil rights violation to attack this woman!

Savannah was also subjected to a whistle right at her ear. Probably at least 110 dB! Anything over 90 dB can cause permanent hearing damage. The whistle at her ears is assault, in itself!

Probably something like assault committed on federal property.
