"Gov. Ron DeSantis and some other Florida Republicans have painted the higher subsidies as a boon for insurance companies at the expense of taxpayers, suggesting that the comprehensive coverage provided by Obamacare plans is not worth the cost.

Some of those confrontations have led to scuffles and fistfights, prompting arrests by the Portland police. Sortor was among those arrested, after he tried to force his way through a protest encampment on a sidewalk near the Ice facility, and was involved in a scuffle over an American flag. Sortor had previously taken the flag from a protester who was burning it. The charges against Sortor were later dropped after an outcry in the conservative media prompted the head of the civil rights division of the Department of Justice, Harmeet Dhillon, to threaten an investigation of the Portland police bureau over supposed anti-conservative bias. The two women Sortor was arrested for fighting with still face charges.
