Portland resident Phillip Vincent Haskins-Delici was sentenced on August 14 to 24 hours of community service, a seven-day suspended jail term, and one year of probation for assaulting Arab-American woman Sorbeah “Ara” Almosa.
Haskins-Delici, who goes by the name Isabel Rosa Araujo, is a man who identifies as a “transgender” woman. He was convicted on August 6 of fourth-degree assault and unlawful use of mace.
The incident occurred in Couch Park during a counter-protest to an anti-Israel rally in March 2024, where Almosa burned a copy of the Quran.
Araujo wore tactical gear labeled “Antifa Super Soldier” and a gas mask before spraying Almosa with a burning chemical, reportedly mace.
A close friend of Haskins-Delici’s family said he was raised in a Christian household in Westville, New Jersey, but later became radicalized online. “His demeanor changed drastically after the crossdressing and cosplay started, and he was heavily involved with the creeps in the chatrooms and elsewhere,” the friend said.
Araujo’s shift to identifying as “Latinx” and a “Muslima” marked a departure from his upbringing. His attorney indicated he plans to request that Araujo be allowed to carry mace during probation, citing fear of “fascists.”
Observers note that Multnomah County has generally reduced incarceration rates for nonviolent offenses. The decision to impose community service, suspended time, and probation for what prosecutors described as a politically motivated assault has raised concerns about accountability.
Video footage from outside the courthouse, posted by Andy Ngo on X, shows Araujo walking with fellow “transgender” activist Heather-Lynne Van Wilde before confronting Post Millennial reporter Katie Daviscourt. He shouted, “Khaybar Khaybar ya yahud,” an Arabic chant referring to a 7th-century Islamic battle in which Muslim forces killed Jewish tribes.
Araujo then screamed “F*ck Israel” six times and cursed at the reporter: “F*ck you! You are a propagandist for Andy Ngo, a f*cking Nazi! A Zionist Nazi! An Israel boot-licking Nazi!” He also told her to kill herself before being led away by his lawyer.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, critics of the “transgender” movement have increasingly raised allegations of terrorism and other criminal activity in recent years, citing incidents across the United States involving acts of violence, threats, and extremist affiliations.
