Landmark lawsuit against Antifa is for 'all Americans who are threatened by these criminals,' lawyer says
The lawyer representing a journalist who is suing the far-left group Antifa said Thursday the legal action seeks to protect reporters and other Americans "who are threatened by these criminals."
The lawyer representing a journalist who is suing the far-left group Antifa said Thursday the legal action seeks to protect reporters and other Americans "who are threatened by these criminals."
Harmeet Dhillon of the Center for American Liberty said she filed the first-ever lawsuit against Antifa on behalf of journalist Andy Ngo after he was repeatedly attacked in 2019 while covering the violence incited by the group in Portland, Ore. On one occasion, the lawsuit claims, Ngo was beaten by a mob that continued to harass him as he attempted to walk away.
In an appearance on "The Ingraham Angle" Thursday, Dhillon told host Laura Ingraham that Ngo "continues to be stalked" and claimed the Portland authorities "continue to do nothing" to protect his safety.
Earlier Thursday, Dhillion told Fox News the timing of the lawsuit was unrelated to the riots that have taken place across the country following the death of George Floyd. Her comments came as FBI Director Christopher Wray announced that Antifa was among the groups being investigated for acts of violence in various cities over the past several days.
