Independent journalist Andy Ngo has filed a lawsuit against Portland Antifa for assault, battery, and “intentional infliction of emotional distress,” and accused the anarcho-communist group of running a racketeering enterprise.

Antifa members and others have tried to “suppress” Ngo’s activities “through a coordinated pattern of violent, harassing, and stalking behavior,” he alleges in the suit (pdf), filed on June 4 with the Multnomah County Circuit Court in Portland, Oregon.
