Rep. Maxwell Frost victimized by racist attack at Sundance Film Festival
New York Amsterdam News
|January 29, 2026
A man was arrested Friday night at a party during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, for allegedly assaulting a Florida congressman.
Democratic U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost wrote on X on Saturday that he was punched in the face by a man who told Frost that President Donald Trump was going to deport him. The altercation occurred at a private party hosted by talent agency CAA at the High West Distillery, a popular venue for festival-adjacent events.
"He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off," Frost wrote. "The individual was arrested and I am okay." Frost, the first Generation Z member of Congress, thanked the venue security and the Park City Police Department for their help. A Park City Police Department representative said officers arrived on the scene just after midnight.
Christian Joel Young, 28, was arrested on charges of aggravated burglary, assaulting an elected official, and assault and transported to Summit County Jail, according to court records.
