Attendees receive brand-new high-end gear, including respirators, gloves, goggles, and more, to prepare for organized demonstrations outside a federal immigration detention facility in Newark.
Sortor describes it as evidence of well-funded, Antifa-style support networks rather than spontaneous protests.
“These people are basically Antifa’s support staff,” Sortor said.
“Rioters are each handed ~$100 of equipment to pretend to be medics,” he said. “And they were doling them out like candy. These are NOT organic riots. They’re well organized and well-funded. These groups need to be broken up into a million pieces.”
Sortor is on the scene Sunday night, and rports that the group he was with appears to have been arrested:
