27 years!
27 years of persecution.
27 years of torture.
27 years of families torn apart.
It has been 27 years since the Chinese Communist Party launched its brutal campaign against Falun Gong.
Millions have been imprisoned, tortured, and persecuted simply because they chose to live by the values of truthfulness, compassion, and tolerance.
Their stories deserve to be heard. Their courage deserves to be honored.
The world must not stay silent.

🚨BREAKING: A Ukrainian refugee was filmed being physically restrained by men in plain clothes, at San Francisco International Airport, who claim to be ICE agents.
In the video, she is terrified, begging them to talk to her, and begging the people around her for help as they try to handcuff her.
And we are all just expected to believe these men are ICE agents.
Even though they aren’t clearly identifying themselves, they aren’t explaining what is happening, and they aren’t showing proof.
They are just men, in plain clothes, trying to physically take a terrified woman away.
And the Republicans who support this are the same people who spent weeks exploiting the murder of Iryna Zarutska… a Ukrainian refugee killed by a Black man.
They plastered her face everywhere. They used her death to attack Democrats. They pretended to care about the lives of Ukrainian refugees.
But now, the Trump administration is hunting down refugees… including Ukrainians… and suddenly that concern about their lives has disappeared.
And this happens as the government tells you… if a group of men, in plain clothes, claim to be ICE… you are expected to blindly trust them as they drag you away.
Because we now live in a country where people are expected to gamble their lives on whether the strangers trying to take them away are actually who they claim to be.
And if you guess wrong, you could die.
🚨BREAKING: ICE agents showed up at a work site in Brownsville, Texas, claiming to be looking for two people… and ended up illegally handcuffing TWO U.S. CITIZENS, throwing one of them against a truck, threatening to arrest him again, and scanning everyone’s faces to determine their “status.”
In the video, ICE showed up looking for two people. They asked the foreman if he knew them. He said no.
Then, they asked if they could talk to the other workers about the people they were looking for.
The foreman said, “If they want to talk to you, they can.”
And then an ICE agent tried to scan the foreman’s face to run him through their system.
The foreman told him he was not allowed to just scan his face.
The foreman then walked over to one of his workers’ trucks, where ICE agents were surrounding the work vehicles at their work site.
He asked what was going on.
He repeatedly asked who they were looking for, and told them the people they claimed to be looking for were not there.
The agent responded, “Well, we want to make sure.”
The foreman told them, “Well, we aren’t them. You all need to leave.”
And then an ICE agent threatened to arrest him.
“You need to settle down or I have to put you in cuffs.”
Except this man was not threatening them. He was not attacking them. He was not even raising his voice.
He was standing there, asking questions and telling government agents to leave his workplace, after they had already expanded their investigation beyond the two people they claimed to be looking for.
So, the ICE agent threw him against a truck and handcuffed him.
A U.S. citizen.
And after they released him, he asked for the agents’ badge numbers.
And the agent responded by threatening to handcuff him AGAIN.
The government cannot simply show up, invade your workplace, surround your vehicles, demand access to people who are not the subjects of their investigation, scan your face, and then arrest you because you object to what they are doing.
The First Amendment protects your right to question government agents and verbally protest their actions.
The Fourth Amendment protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures.
And an arrest cannot simply be used as punishment because an officer does not like the fact that you are standing there, asking questions, or asserting your rights.
Then the foreman saw another person ICE had in handcuffs…
He told them they needed to let him go because he was not the person they were looking for.
The agents eventually released the person they had in handcuffs… after scanning his face and discovering that he was also a U.S. citizen.
The government is creating situations where people are expected to silently obey armed agents, who refuse to explain what they are doing… while they violate your constitutional rights… and then punishing anyone who dares to ask questions.
When the government tells you that your only options are blind obedience or punishment… you are not living in a free country.
ICE grabbed a 17yo Target worker at his job, despite him saying he’s a US citizen. After confirming he was, they dumped him in a Walmart lot 8 min away.
Bystanders found him sobbing, bleeding: “They slammed me on the ground.”
ICE chased a man who was legally in the USA into a road where he was killed. The evidence for racial profiling is just overwhelming. This is a conspiracy against the Constitution.
Somebody ran up to Colonel Chesty Puller at the Chosin Reservoir to tell him the terrible news that his Marines were completely surrounded by the Chinese army. Puller looked at him and said, more or less, good. Now we can shoot at them in every direction.
Lewis Puller, called Chesty because of his barrel chest and his bulldog walk, was already a living legend before Korea. He is still the most decorated Marine in the history of the Corps, a man who would end his career with five Navy Crosses, and there are Marines to this day who end their night with the words good night Chesty, wherever you are. He was the old breed, a Marine who believed in the rifle, the bayonet, and never, ever leaving a man behind.
In late November 1950, at a frozen lake in the mountains of North Korea called the Chosin Reservoir, everything went wrong. Around thirty thousand UN troops, most of them Marines, suddenly found themselves cut off and encircled by something like a hundred and twenty thousand Chinese soldiers who had poured across the border in secret. The temperature dropped to thirty and forty degrees below zero. Weapons froze. Blood froze. Rations froze solid. The Marines were outnumbered, surrounded, and stuck at the far end of a single narrow mountain road with the enemy dug in on every hill above it.
Most units in that spot break. Chesty Puller's did not. His attitude, and it spread to every man in the regiment, was that being surrounded was not a disaster, it was an opportunity. He is supposed to have said it plainly. We are surrounded. That simplifies our problem. And the other line his Marines loved. They are in front of us, behind us, and on both flanks. They cannot get away from us now.
So the Marines did not surrender and they did not panic. They turned around and fought their way out, attacking in a new direction, as Puller and the other commanders put it. They came down that one frozen road through seventy miles of ambush and roadblock, hauling their gear, and this is the part that mattered most to men like Chesty, bringing their wounded and their dead with them. They refused to leave their people behind.
They fought their way clean out of the trap and did enormous damage to the Chinese armies that tried to destroy them. For his part in it Puller earned that fifth Navy Cross, and the breakout from Chosin became one of the most legendary fighting retreats in the history of the United States military.
Chesty Puller spent his whole life proving a simple idea. It is not the numbers against you that decide a fight. It is whether the men will stand. His men always stood.
Border Patrol pulls over a 20-year-old in Slidell, LA for “white lights on the back of your vehicle… your reverse lights are on the whole time.”
Then, before writing a single ticket, the agent asks: “What’s your citizenship?”
The driver, Alan Laureano, was born in Slidell. His passenger — his 13-year-old stepbrother — was born in Pearl River, Louisiana. Both are U.S. citizens.
Didn’t matter. Twice, on camera, the agent tells Laureano he’s going to “check” the kid and “if he’s illegal, I will take him.”
He tries to open the 13-year-old’s car door himself. Laureano locks it and rolls the window down instead.
The agent then interrogates the child directly — full name, spelling, date of birth, birthplace — while Laureano stands his ground and refuses to hand over his own ID, telling the agent he doesn’t have the right to stop him over a taillight.
Immigration attorney Michael Gahagan reviewed the video and called it what it is: “an illegal detention.” Border Patrol isn’t authorized to detain someone over a traffic violation — they need independent reasonable suspicion of an immigration violation, and that has to come first, not get invented after the stop.
DHS’s after-the-fact statement claims the stop was based on “reasonable suspicion or probable cause of federal law violations” — but doesn’t say what that violation was. WWL Louisiana asked twice. No answer either time.
This is the pattern: pretext stop, pivot to citizenship, threaten a kid with removal before confirming anything. It only looks “routine” until you’re the one being asked to prove you belong in the country you were born in.
ICE agents in full tactical gear chased out of grocery store—by woman with a whistle.

ICE smashed the window of a disabled Iraq War veteran, on his way to work, pepper-sprayed him, dragged him out at gunpoint, and locked him up for three days without charges.
This is fascism.
https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY confirms that George Retes is a citizen, a disabled U.S. Army veteran who served his country in Iraq.
Federal agents smashed his truck window, sprayed him with chemical agents, detained him for three days, denied him contact with his family, and released him without charges. He missed his daughter’s third birthday while sitting in a cell.
No person on American soil should fear being treated this way, least of all a citizen and veteran at the hands of his own government. A nation that can do this to a U.S. citizen and veteran can do it to anyone.
