A federal grand jury has indicted two individuals in connection with the assault of Savanah Hernandez during a protest outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Minneapolis earlier this month, according to federal sources, as reported [1] by the New York Post.
The suspects were indicted Tuesday, sources told Fox News Digital, though their names have not yet been released. Officials indicated the indictment is expected to be unsealed later Wednesday.
The incident occurred April 11 outside the Whipple Federal Building, where a protest was taking place related to a local ICE field office that also serves as a detention facility. Video footage from the scene shows a group of protesters surrounding Hernandez as she attempted to move away.
The footage shows individuals blowing horns in front of her, yelling obscenities, and waving adult novelty products as she tried to shield herself and leave the area. Hernandez is seen backing away from the group and saying, “get away from me” to a protester who remained close to her.
Moments later, a protester pushed Hernandez, causing her to fall onto a wired fence. As the situation continued, Hernandez is heard yelling, “Stop touching me!” before another individual pushed her forward toward the ground.
Video shows Hernandez attempting to get up and leave as protesters continued to push her. She was knocked down again as the confrontation continued. At one point, Hernandez is heard shouting, “Leave me, I am trying to leave!”
The video also includes individuals at the scene who said they attempted to assist Hernandez, stating they intervened to stop others from hitting her.
Following the incident, Hernandez posted on X that she suffered minor injuries, including scrapes to her legs and soreness in her neck and back.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced it was investigating the incident within hours after videos began circulating online.
Federal authorities have not released additional details about the identities of the suspects or the specific charges included in the indictment. The case remains under investigation as officials prepare to unseal the indictment.
