Claim 1: “the clip posted on social media by conservative influencer Nick Sortor”

SINGLE SOURCE

While web search results confirm Nick Sortor is a conservative influencer who was swarmed by anti-ICE protesters in Minnesota in January 2026, there is only one specific mention of a video related to the Newark incident (the Patrick Reilly article mentioning Todd Blanche vowing to arrest the protester in an 'insane video'). There is no independent corroboration from a second source specifically stating Nick Sortor posted the Newark clip.
