After years of politically charged protests and far-left legislation, it’s fair to say that Portland, Oregon, has become a deep blue stronghold. Now, conservative activist Nick Sortor is suing the city over its alleged discrimination against conservatives.

Get involved in state-level prayer with IFA.

From KOIN:

Sortor filed a tort claim against the City of Portland on Monday, formally stating his intent to sue over his arrest outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in October. He is seeking $10 million in damages from the city for the arrest.

“This wrongful arrest was not just a mistake,” said Angus Lee, Sortor’s attorney. “It was the product of a deeply embedded culture of political discrimination in Portland law enforcement.”

The 27-year-old social media personality was arrested at a protest outside the ICE facility Oct. 2, as KOIN 6 News previously reported. He was charged with one misdemeanor count of second-degree disorderly conduct.

According to OPB, Sortor got in a “heated argument” with anti-Trump protestors. One protestor reportedly pushed Sortor, while another swung a stick at him. The Multnomah District Attorney’s Office quickly dropped charges against the conservative, determining he acted in self-defense.

Sortor appeared on Fox News with Laura Ingraham earlier this week to discuss his arrest and lawsuit. He accused the Portland police of arresting him because he was a conservative, and he suggested that “big, leftist police departments routinely side with the woke, radical, violent left.” He’s now slapped the city with a federal civil rights lawsuit.

Portland is not the only blue community that’s discriminated against conservatives. However, if Sortor’s lawsuit is successful, there’s a chance it could be the last. Let’s pray for an end to political discrimination in America!
