I'm back in court today for a hearing on the Ridglan rescue. The state has not just charged us with 4 felonies but engaged in a series of efforts to undermine our most basic constitutional rights. Today, we are fighting in court to ensure that these rights—including the right to present a defense at all—are preserved.
And I am fine with this. Because the sacrifice is the point. The fact that I and my co-defendants are willing to take on the full power of the state, knowing they would use every underhanded tool in their toolkit (including barring us from First Amendment activity), should give the world confidence that we mean what we say:
We MUST rescue the animals, no matter what it takes.
Even if that means having our constitutional rights threatened. Even if that means being charged with serious crimes. Even if that means being imprisoned.
This is a fight worth having because this dog deserved to be safe.
I'll see you in court today.
@waynehhsiung Good luck, Wayne. You will do well. You are nothing short of a hero to all animals. Someday, this insanity will stop. So glad to know James is finally getting the justice and freedom he deserves.
In 2016, I was deported from China for rescuing dogs from the meat trade.
In 2026, I was deported from Dane County, WI for rescuing dogs from labs.
No regrets. Best deportations ever.
