Ostroushko Family Seeks 3 Restraining Orders Against TPUSA Reporter After Federal Assault Indictment
5 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 28
Three Ostroushko family members have filed separate restraining-order petitions against Savanah Hernandez, who says the requests aim to stop her posting about them or reporting in Minnesota.
Hernandez said Christopher and Deyanna Ostroushko have already won temporary orders, forcing her to fight the claims in court after police visited her home multiple times to serve papers.
Christopher, Deyanna and Paige Ostroushko were federally indicted last month over the April 11 altercation outside Minneapolis' Whipple Federal Building, and all three have pleaded not guilty.
The petitions accuse Hernandez of harassment, doxing and, in Paige Ostroushko's filing, physical assault—claims Hernandez denies, saying video shows the family attacked her.
The legal fight is widening: the family's lawyer declined comment because of pending litigation, and a prior hearing indicated they also planned to seek a gag order.
