A federal grand jury has indicted two people in connection with the April 11 assault on Turning Point USA Frontlines reporter Savanah Hernandez, according to multiple reports.
The assault of Hernandez on April 11 near the Whipple Federal Building in Minneapolis was caught on video later posted by the TPUSA journalist on X, prompting Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet K. Dhillon to say, “On it” in response. The indictment is still sealed, Fox News reported.

“A federal grand jury has decided to bring indictments against two of the violent protesters who assaulted me in Minneapolis,” Hernandez posted Wednesday. “No word yet on which of the three are being indicted, but I’m EXTREMELY grateful to the DOJ for moving so swiftly on this[.] Justice is coming.”
Hernandez identified a father and daughter as being involved in the attack where she was punched, shoved and thrown to the ground repeatedly by the angry mob, later reporting in a follow-up post that she was suffering from a headache and stiff neck after the incident.
A video posted April 13 appears to show the attack on Hernandez being planned, and the father is seen telling his daughter, a soccer player at the University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point, to get the whistle from the car and to blow the whistle in Hernandez’s ear prior to Hernandez being attacked.
Blowing a whistle into a person’s ear can cause temporary or permanent hearing loss by damaging the cochlea, which are hairs inside the inner ear, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
Hernandez and the Department of Justice did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.
