• Video footage shows Christopher Ostroushko shoving Hernandez to the ground amid a violent attack by multiple protesters, leading to her injuries including neck pain and a sprained knee.
• The family faces charges including interference with a federally protected activity and assault, while Christopher also faces a separate fifth-degree assault charge from Hennepin County prosecutors.
• FBI Director Kash Patel confirmed the bureau led the investigation and emphasized that political violence will be pursued, with the DOJ condemning the attack as unacceptable.
