A conservative journalist filed a lawsuit against the far-left militant groups known as Antifa for waging a “campaign of terror and harassment” against him — days after President Trump blamed them for inciting violence during anti-police protests, according to reports.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday by attorney Harmeet Dhillon on behalf of Andy Ngo, described Rose City Antifa as a racketeering operation under the Racketeering Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, the Washington Times reported.
Ngo seeks $900,000 in damages, according to the suit, which was filed in Oregon Circuit Court.
He claims he was assaulted, stalked, threatened and robbed by members of the group in Portland, suffering a brain hemorrhage after being assaulted in June 2019, the news outlet reported.
“I am hoping that this marks a turning point, that militants belonging to a criminal movement can no longer depend on the anonymity … to get away with their crimes,” said Ngo, who is with the Post Millennial after a writing stint with the online publication Quillette.
