She said she waited months to file the suit in the futile hope that authorities would bring criminal charges against Ngo’s attackers. Viral video of the attack led to national calls for investigations as well as a subsequent rally led by the Proud Boys, a right-wing group that has been designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.Īntifa - short for “anti-fascists”- is an umbrella term for leftist militant groups that confront or resist neo-Nazis and white supremacists at rallies.ĭhillon said the timing of the lawsuit was coincidental to recent protests over the death of George Floyd while in the custody of Minneapolis cops. Ngo, who has long drawn attention to Antifa, said he was targeted and suffered brain injuries when he was assaulted while covering the protests in Portland a year ago. “It should have been law enforcement doing this action, not me, but because they refuse to do that, we cannot let Andy continue to live under these threats,” Dhillon said. “We waited several months and this is a job for law enforcement because … law enforcement has the tools to go surveil and get warrants and all of that. “By the way, that includes the United States attorney who I spoke to at the beginning of the process,” she told host Laura Ingraham. The San Francisco-based Dhillon, of the Center for American Liberty, told “The Ingraham Angle” on Thursday that she filed the first-ever lawsuit against Antifa for people “who are threatened by these criminals,” Fox News reported.ĭhillon said Ngo “continues to be stalked” and claimed that Portland authorities “continue to do nothing” to protect his safety. “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. 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. Ngo seeks $900,000 in damages, according to the suit, which was filed in Oregon Circuit Court.

Marshall had played with the band since they formed in 2007. He concluded: “I look forward to new creative projects as well as speaking and writing on a variety of issues, challenging as they may be.” A legacy of songs that I believe will stand the test of ages.” It will be with immense pride that I look back at my time with Mumford & Sons. He wished his former band members well, and added of his time with them: “What a blessing it was to be so close to such talent as theirs.
I hope in distancing myself from them I am able to speak my mind without them suffering the consequences. I could remain and continue to self-censor but it will erode my sense of integrity … The only way forward for me is to leave the band. My love, loyalty and accountability to them cannot permit that. I also feel that my previous apology in a small way participates in the lie that such extremism does not exist, or worse, is a force for good … For me to speak about what I’ve learnt to be such a controversial issue will inevitably bring my bandmates more trouble. The truth is that reporting on extremism at the great risk of endangering oneself is unquestionably brave.
The truth is that my commenting on a book that documents the extreme far left and their activities is in no way an endorsement of the equally repugnant far right. I have spent much time reflecting, reading and listening. Marshall has now fully quit Mumford & Sons.
