A federal grand jury handed down indictments for Christopher, Deyanna, and Paige Ostrouchko, 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, with their names released in the indictment Wednesday.
Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation of the United States, Kash Patel told Fox News Digital, “When video of individuals assaulting Savanah Hernandez surfaced, this FBI immediately engaged and led the investigation — today landing federal charges supported by our great partners at DOJ.”
“Conduct like this is completely unacceptable, and we are thankful Savanah is ok. Let this be a message to others who may try something similar that this FBI will find you and bring you to justice,” he concluded.

While it was initially reported that only two of the three would be facing charges, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, has just announced that all three were indicted and will be facing charges.
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.
Video shows protesters swarming Hernandez, blowing horns in front of her face, yelling obscenities and waving adult novelty products in front of her, as she tries to cover herself and run away.

Hernandez is seen moving away from the protesters before saying, “get away from me” to a protester who continued to be up close to her. The protester then pushed Hernandez, who fell on the wired fence.
As protesters appeared to continue confronting Hernandez, she can be heard yelling, “Stop touching me!” Moments later, an unknown man is seen pushing Hernandez forward to the concrete.
Protesters continued to push Hernandez as she tried to get up and leave, and she was pushed down to the ground again.
“Leave me, I am trying to leave!” Hernandez shouted at one point.
In the video, other individuals at the scene claim they tried to help Hernandez escape the violent protesters, saying they stopped people from hitting her.
