Journalist Andy Ngo, whose parents fled to the US from Vietnam in 1978, has become a political refugee himself, fleeing to London, saying he received death threats from Antifa over his coverage of the movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor a number of months now, there’s just been increasing threats of violence against me, promises by Antifa extremists to kill me,\u201d<\/em> the Portland native said Saturday night in a Sky News interview. Local law enforcement authorities did nothing about the alleged threats, even when Ngo provided names of the suspects, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s pained me a lot, temporarily having to leave the country and home that settled my parents who came there as political refugees,\u201d<\/em> Ngo added.<\/p>\n

Ngo came to increased prominence after he was attacked by a mob of Antifa protesters in 2019. There have been no arrests in connection with that attack \u2013 in which Ngo was beaten, robbed and hospitalized with a brain injury \u2013 even though it was caught on camera from various angles and the journalist’s lawyer provided names of suspects to police.<\/p>\n
