Jessica Doty-Whitaker, 24, died in an Indiana hospital earlier this month after being shot by an unseen assailant.
Doty-Whitaker, the mother of a three-year-old boy, was walking along the Indianapolis Canal Walk with her fiancé José Ramirez and another couple around 3:00 a.m. on July 5 after celebrating the Fourth of July.
According to Ramirez, they encountered a group of four men and one woman and got into a heated argument about language and the Black Lives Matter movement. It apparently began when a member of Ramirez’s group allegedly used the slang word “n***” in a non-disparaging way in conversation and the strangers, overhearing, took offense.
One of the strangers said “black lives matter,” and Doty-Whitaker, who was the only white member of her party, replied, “All lives matter.”
During the argument, at least one of the strangers took out a gun, and Ramirez displayed his own firearm. However, he told Fox 59, the groups talked through the issues and parted peacefully.
“It was squashed and they went up the hill and left, we thought, but they were sitting on [West] St. Clair [Street] waiting for us to come under the bridge and that's when she got shot,” Ramirez said.
Yesterday Indianapolis Police published CCTV images of people they believe may have been involved or witnesses to the shooting.
Ramirez reported that he returned fire but that he didn’t see anyone or know if he hit anyone. Doty-Whitaker died shortly afterward in hospital. Her funeral was held on July 10.
Her sister Jennifer told Fairbanks that Doty-Whitaker was a home healthcare nurse who planned to return to school to become a registered nurse. Jennifer also said that the hardest part of her sister’s death was her son Greyson’s reaction.
“It’s heart wrenching to watch my mother explain to my three-year-old nephew that mommy is an angel in heaven and him ask when we can go get her and bring her back,” she said.
The bereaved sister declared that Jessica was “not racist in any way.”
“People are going to say what they want to justify this [killing], but it’s not justified,” she said.

NEW YORK , July 16 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — A message reading , “ Black Preborn Lives Matter ” painted by pro-life students on the street outside a New York Planned Parenthood abortion center was altered to obscure the word “ preborn.
” “ It seems darkly appropriate that Planned Parenthood , the organization that kills infinitely more people in one year than the Ku Klux Klan has in its entire existence , has the word ‘ preborn ’ blotted @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” guest poster Ben Chernjavsky wrote at the Students For Life ( SFL ) website .
The message was painted by pro-life students in the early hours of Independence Day .
Chernjavsky cited the 19th-century slavery abolitionist Frederick Douglass as the inspiration for the group painting the message .
“ In 1852 , Fredrick [ sic ] Douglass delivered the speech ‘ What to the Slave is the 4th of July ?
’ in Rochester .
Following in the footsteps of our great Rochester forebearers the students ask the question : What @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pre-born ?
” Chernjavsky wrote .
Last year , the state of New York passed legislation to enshrine a “ fundamental right ” to abortion in state law and eliminate protections for preborn babies until birth .
“ At a time in our country when the issue of inequality is at the forefront of everyone ’ s minds , we must stand up for the most vulnerable and oppressed people in our society , ” Chernjavsky said .
“ Pre-born children have been stripped of their humanity by the state of New York @ @ @ @ @ @ @ statue of Fredrick [ sic ] Douglass was torn down in Rochester the same week , and yet the buildings that house oppression and death still stand .

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July 16, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — Salt Lake City’s bishop and its cathedral’s pastor denied a Catholic Holy Communion on the tongue.
Videos of two live-streamed Masses at the Cathedral of the Madeleine capture the tensions and fraught quandaries that result from bishops banning reception of Holy Communion on the tongue due to COVID-19 fears, even though the Catholic Church states clearly in Redemptionis Sacramentum that a Catholic “always has the right to receive Holy Communion on the tongue,” a right that cannot simply be taken away.
In this case, Bishop Oscar Solis issued a directive May 27 that as a measure to combat the coronavirus, Catholics are to receive Holy Communion “only on the hand.”
The man was denied Holy Communion on the tongue, but only after receiving it on the tongue a week earlier at the same Cathedral.
The June 28 video of a Cathedral Mass (at approximately 26:30) shows the unidentified man, along with his daughter, approaching Fr. Joseph Delka and kneeling to receive Holy Communion. After some discussion, the priest gave him Holy Communion on the tongue.
The man returned the following week, and the July 5 video of the Mass shows him and his daughter approaching Bishop Solis, who was wearing a mask, and kneeling to receive (at around 59:08).
A discussion follows, and then Fr. Martin Diaz comes over and waves the bishop away. Solis turns and heads to the altar while the would-be communicant, appearing dismayed, remains kneeling for some moments before getting up and returning to his pew.
According to Fr. Diaz, the man, who he says was a visitor from Texas, was being “disruptive and disobedient.”
“I realized then, of course, that, you know, the bishop was put in this very awkward situation. I asked the bishop to go sit down. It was the end of the line anyway. And I took care of the rest of the people for the distribution of Communion. So then the man was disruptive and disobedient,” he told LifeSiteNews in a telephone interview.
“I don’t know his heart, of course,” added Fr. Diaz.
Fr. Diaz said that he did not refuse either this man, or anyone, Holy Communion, but that it was the man himself who chose not to receive by insisting upon reception on the tongue and not in the hand.
“The requirement is that they receive in the hand. … We’ve never turned anyone down for Communion. If they choose not to receive, that’s really up to them,” the priest said.
“What I’m doing is giving in the hand,” Fr. Diaz said. “So the unintended consequence, you know, it’s the principle of double effect. … So you do one thing and it has a secondary effect.

It is not clear how the principle of double effect applies in this case.
Fr. Diaz also stated that according to canon law, the bishop regulates the sacraments in the diocese, and it is within his legitimate authority to issue a directive prohibiting the reception of Communion on the tongue.
However, many high-ranking churchmen would dispute this, including Cardinal Robert Sarah, head of the Congregation for Divine Worship, who reiterated in a May interview that the Church has ruled that “the faithful are free to receive Communion in the mouth or hand.”
Moreover, a 2009 letter from the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, the year of the H1N1 “swine flu” pandemic, references the instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum, promulgated in 2004 by the Congregation for Divine Worship, as Dr. Peter Kwasniewski noted in March.
Redemptionis Sacramentum clearly stipulates that “each of the faithful always has the right to receive Holy Communion on the tongue.”

lifesitenews--2020-07-16--Pro-abortion Justice Ginsburg hospitalized again, now ‘home and doing well’

URGENT PETITION : Tell the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade !
Sign the petition here .
WASHINGTON , D.C. , July 16 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Pro-abortion Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was briefly hospitalized “ for treatment of a possible infection ” this week .
At 87 years old , Ginsburg is the oldest of the nine justices .
Ginsburg was discharged on Wednesday , two days after being first admitted for experiencing a fever and chills .
She is now “ home and doing well.
” “ She was initially evaluated at Sibley @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night after experiencing fever and chills , ” according to a spokeswoman of the Supreme Court on Tuesday .
“ She underwent an endoscopic procedure at Johns Hopkins this afternoon to clean out a bile duct stent that was placed last August .
The Justice is resting comfortably and will stay in the hospital for a few days to receive intravenous antibiotic treatment.
” Ginsburg was also hospitalized in May for treatment of a gallbladder condition .
As oral arguments were heard over the phone during the coronavirus pandemic , she was still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Considered one of the most liberal justices on the bench , Ginsburg has consistently sided with the leftist majority or minority , depending on the case .
Some of the more prominent cases in the last five years are Bostock v. Clayton County on gender ideology , June Medical Services v. Russo on basic medical safety standards for abortion centers , Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania and Burwell v. Hobby Lobby on the contraceptive mandate for insurance coverage , and Obergefell v. Hodges legalizing same sex “ marriage.
” In @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Bostock v. Clayton County ) , Ginsburg joined Justice Neil Gorsuch , nominated to the Supreme Court by President Donald Trump and previously hailed as a conservative , in essentially redefining the term “ sex ” in the 1964 Civil Rights Act to mean not simply “ male ” and “ female ” as biological facts , but also “ sexual orientation ” and “ gender identity.
” Even though Ginsburg has dedicated her entire career to fighting for what she perceives as women ’ s rights , she effectively abolished what she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ man ” and “ woman ” do not really exist , depending rather on what a person claims he or she is .
During a 2009 interview with the New York Times Magazine , Ginsburg , who was nominated to the Supreme Court by Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1993 , said , “ Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe [ v. Wade ] was decided , there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don ’ t want to have too many of.
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ personally pro-abortion because of that position , or in spite of it , her support for abortion as such is evident .
In the same interview , she said about “ reproductive rights , ” a term referring to abortion and contraception , “ The basic thing is that the government has no business making that choice for a woman.
” As a Supreme Court justice , Ginsburg also voted to strike down a law banning partial-birth abortions in Nebraska .
“ A state regulation that ‘ has the purpose or effect of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of a woman seeking an abortion of a nonviable fetus ’ violates the Constitution , ” she argued .
Partial-birth abortion involves killing a child in the process of being born by “ delivering the child into the birth canal up to its shoulders and killing it through vacuuming out its brain and crushing its skull , ” the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute wrote .
Three years after Ginsburg said a state law banning partial-birth abortions was unconstitutional , Congress passed a law banning the procedure .
Although it was challenged in court @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in 2007 .
Ginsburg is also in favor of so-called homosexual “ marriage.
” Only a few months after the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013 , Ginsburg became the first Supreme Court justice to officiate a homosexual “ wedding ” ceremony .
“ I think it will be one more statement that people who love each other and want to live together should be able to enjoy the blessings and the strife in the marriage relationship , ” Ginsburg said afterwards .
She subsequently officiated at several @ @ @ @ @ @ @ imposing homosexual “ marriage ” on the nation in the 2015 case Obergefell v. Hodges .
At 87 years old , Ginsburg is the Supreme Court justice most likely to be replaced next .
Having been treated for cancer several times over the years , she still managed to take part in Supreme Court business .
In January , she told CNN she was cancer free .
She was treated for cancer twice in 2019 alone .
In case of death or retirement , it would potentially be difficult for President Trump to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ before the elections in November .
In a comparable situation , Republicans blocked President Barack Obama from having a replacement for staunch originalist and textualist Justice Antonin Scalia confirmed by the Senate before the 2016 election .
However , according to a Politico report , Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell , a Republican , said in 2019 that his party would try to fill an opening on the Supreme Court if there were a vacancy in 2020 .

WASHINGTON, D.C., July 16, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Pro-abortion Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was briefly hospitalized “for treatment of a possible infection” this week. At 87 years old, Ginsburg is the oldest of the nine justices.
Ginsburg was discharged on Wednesday, two days after being first admitted for experiencing a fever and chills. She is now “home and doing well.”
“She was initially evaluated at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. last night after experiencing fever and chills,” according to a spokeswoman of the Supreme Court on Tuesday. “She underwent an endoscopic procedure at Johns Hopkins this afternoon to clean out a bile duct stent that was placed last August. The Justice is resting comfortably and will stay in the hospital for a few days to receive intravenous antibiotic treatment.”
Ginsburg was also hospitalized in May for treatment of a gallbladder condition. As oral arguments were heard over the phone during the coronavirus pandemic, she was still able to participate in Supreme Court proceedings.
Considered one of the most liberal justices on the bench, Ginsburg has consistently sided with the leftist majority or minority, depending on the case. Some of the more prominent cases in the last five years are Bostock v. Clayton County on gender ideology, June Medical Services v. Russo on basic medical safety standards for abortion centers, Little Sisters of the Poor v. Pennsylvania and Burwell v. Hobby Lobby on the contraceptive mandate for insurance coverage, and Obergefell v. Hodges legalizing same sex “marriage.”
In a defeat for conservatives this year (Bostock v. Clayton County), Ginsburg joined Justice Neil Gorsuch, nominated to the Supreme Court by President Donald Trump and previously hailed as a conservative, in essentially redefining the term “sex” in the 1964 Civil Rights Act to mean not simply “male” and “female” as biological facts, but also “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.”
Even though Ginsburg has dedicated her entire career to fighting for what she perceives as women’s rights, she effectively abolished what she had worked for by arguing that “man” and “woman” do not really exist, depending rather on what a person claims he or she is.
During a 2009 interview with the New York Times Magazine, Ginsburg, who was nominated to the Supreme Court by Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1993, said, “Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe [v. Wade] was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.”
While it remained unclear whether she was personally pro-abortion because of that position, or in spite of it, her support for abortion as such is evident. In the same interview, she said about “reproductive rights,” a term referring to abortion and contraception, “The basic thing is that the government has no business making that choice for a woman.”
As a Supreme Court justice, Ginsburg also voted to strike down a law banning partial-birth abortions in Nebraska. “A state regulation that ‘has the purpose or effect of placing a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion of a nonviable fetus’ violates the Constitution,” she argued.
Partial-birth abortion involves killing a child in the process of being born by “delivering the child into the birth canal up to its shoulders and killing it through vacuuming out its brain and crushing its skull,” the pro-life Charlotte Lozier Institute wrote.
Three years after Ginsburg said a state law banning partial-birth abortions was unconstitutional, Congress passed a law banning the procedure. Although it was challenged in court, the Supreme Court upheld the ban in 2007.
Ginsburg is also in favor of so-called homosexual “marriage.” Only a few months after the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013, Ginsburg became the first Supreme Court justice to officiate a homosexual “wedding” ceremony.
“I think it will be one more statement that people who love each other and want to live together should be able to enjoy the blessings and the strife in the marriage relationship,” Ginsburg said afterwards. She subsequently officiated at several other same-sex “weddings,” before imposing homosexual “marriage” on the nation in the 2015 case Obergefell v. Hodges.
At 87 years old, Ginsburg is the Supreme Court justice most likely to be replaced next. Having been treated for cancer several times over the years, she still managed to take part in Supreme Court business. In January, she told CNN she was cancer free. She was treated for cancer twice in 2019 alone.
In case of death or retirement, it would potentially be difficult for President Trump to push through a third Supreme Court nominee before the elections in November. In a comparable situation, Republicans blocked President Barack Obama from having a replacement for staunch originalist and textualist Justice Antonin Scalia confirmed by the Senate before the 2016 election.
However, according to a Politico report, Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, a Republican, said in 2019 that his party would try to fill an opening on the Supreme Court if there were a vacancy in 2020.

Eduardo Verástegui, star of the 2006 film Bella, was at the White House last week with other leaders in the Spanish-speaking community for the signing of the Executive Order on the Hispanic Prosperity Initiative.
Verástegui, who is a practicing Catholic, told EWTN White House correspondent Owen Jensen that he had brought Trump a meaningful gift.
“I brought the president a beautiful image of Our Lady of Guadalupe because not only is she the icon of the pro-life movement, but at the same time she is the symbol of unity and racial healing,” Verástegui said.
“I just want to remind everyone who supports, and is, pro-life to pray for a pro-life leader.”
Verástegui added that Trump is the “best pro-life president ever” in American history.
��“I brought President Trump a beautiful image of Our Lady of Guadalupe” | Last week, @owentjensen caught up with actor @EVerastegui at the White House.

During the July 9 visit to the White House, Verástegui thanked President Trump for his pro-life leadership.

On January 24, 2020, President Trump became the first American president to attend the March for Life in Washington D.C.
According to the July 9 Executive Order, the Prosperity Initiative aims at giving greater “educational and economic opportunities” to Hispanic Americans.
“The success of Hispanic Americans is integral to the economic future of (the USA),” the Order reads.
“As more than 60 million Hispanics live in the United States today, Hispanics are the largest minority group in the country,” it continues
“Hispanics are also the nation’s youngest major racial or ethnic group. Generations of Hispanics constituting different backgrounds and cultures have contributed to building a strong and prosperous America. Their collective contributions continue a legacy of inspiration that is a cherished part of the American experience.”

He began as a model, was recruited as a singer for a successful boy band, and then became a major television star. His biggest dream, however, was to become a Hollywood star. A chance meeting with a casting manager for 20th Century Fox studios led to a role as a Spanish-speaker in a Hollywood film and to his move to Los Angeles, where he began to learn English.
Verástegui had long since abandoned the practice of his faith, but his English teacher gently but persistently encouraged him to come back. In a 2009 interview with L’Osservatore Romano, Verástegui described how his teacher asked him searching questions about his faith, his career, how he was using his talents, and what he would do to combat Hollywood stereotypes about Latinos:
I tried to avoid answering them, but for six months she patiently and lovingly persisted and eventually she asked me directly, ‘Do you really love God, Eduardo? Then why do you offend him in the way you live your life?’ After this, I broke down, and I cried like a baby for hours. I went to confession, and I promised God that I would commit my life to him and I would never again accept roles which would compromise my Catholic faith or offend my family or my Latino culture.
Determined on this course, Verástegui began his own film production company, Metanoia Films. Its first film, a story about a cook who asks a pregnant colleague not to have an abortion, was called Bella, which won the People’s Choice Award at the Toronto Film Festival in 2006. It also won a Smithsonian Latino Center award for its positive contribution to the culture. Best of all, it saved the lives of hundreds of unborn children.
Since Bella was filmed, Verástegui has become a leading Hispanic voice in the worldwide pro-life movement.

MIDWEST CITY, Oklahoma, July 15, 2020, (LifeSiteNews) – Oklahoma State football coach Mike Gundy has agreed to take a $1M pay cut and a shortened contract. This comes after he was outed on social media last month for wearing a t-shirt with the logo of a conservative news outlet.
On June 10, Gundy, while on a fishing trip with his two sons, was pictured wearing an OANN t-shirt. OANN (One America News Network) is a news source known for its support of President Donald Trump and for its criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement. The BLM movement has been exposed by many as a Marxist-run organization that has as its goal the overthrow of America.
As the picture of Gundy circulated on social media, Oklahoma State Cowboys star running back Chuba Hubbard publicly condemned Gundy for wearing the shirt. Hubbard tweeted, “I will not stand for this. This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it’s unacceptable.”
I will not stand for this.. This is completely insensitive to everything going on in society, and it’s unacceptable. I will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE. https://t.co/psxPn4Khoq — Chuba Hubbard (@Hubbard_RMN) June 15, 2020
He then threatened to boycott the team, saying, “I will not be doing anything with Oklahoma State until things CHANGE.” Several current and former players supported Hubbard’s tweet.
Later the same evening, Gundy and Hubbard discussed the issue, Hubbard apologizing for not having spoken to Gundy privately before calling him out publicly, while Gundy promised to make “some changes.”
Despite previously calling OANN “so refreshing” because “there’s no left, there’s no right, they just reported the news,” Gundy publicly apologized on Twitter for the “pain and discomfort” he caused by wearing the OANN tee-shirt.
He assured viewers that “Black Lives Matter to me.” He also explained that when he heard how OANN “felt about Black Lives Matter,” he was “disgusted.”
Gundy said he “didn’t know some of the stances they [OANN] had taken,” having worn the shirt without “knowing enough about the shirt.” OANN has repeatedly exposed the anti-American and violent ideology behind the BLM movement.
After his public apology, Gundy “offered” to reduce his salary by $1M and to shorten his contract from five years to four years.

In Chicago, the CCHD-funded groups Southside Together Organized for Power (STOP) (which marched to chants of “F**k-12” against the police) and Organizing Neighborhoods for Equality Northside (ONE Northside) both called for the defunding of the Chicago PD and advocated for Black Lives Matter.

lifesitenews--2020-07-16--China bans Trump’s religious freedom ambassador, 3 congressmen from entering country

July 15 , 2020 ( Family Research Council ) — A handful of U.S. congressmen woke up to an angry slap on the wrist from the Chinese government on Monday .
Senators Marco Rubio ( R-Fla. ) and Ted Cruz ( R-Texas ) , Rep. Chris Smith ( R-N.J. ) , and Ambassador-at-Large for International Religious Freedom Sam Brownback are now banned from entering China , though the full scope of the new sanctions against them have yet to be revealed .
What prompted the giant authoritarian regime to target these lawmakers ?
Apparently , their work to address China @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Muslims in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region .
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters , `` Xinjiang affairs are China 's internal affairs and the U.S. has no right to interfere in them . ''
These congressmen deserve kudos for their work .
The fact that China is singling them out to be targeted means their actions to address China 's human rights issues have had an impact .
China noticed their efforts and reacted .
That is significant , and they should be commended .
Cruz , Rubio , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ legislation to address China 's religious freedom and human rights violations .
Rubio and Smith introduced the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act , which was recently signed into law .
It is meant to hold perpetrators of abuses against the Uyghur people , including the systematic use of indoctrination camps , accountable for their actions .
Cruz also joined Rubio to introduce the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act , which would prevent goods produced by forced labor ( suspected to be sourced by China 's brutal system of `` re-education '' camps ) @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This will be an effective measure , and Congress should seek to pass this as soon as possible .
Meanwhile , Ambassador Brownback is a consistently fearless advocate for religious freedom for all people in China .
He has long denounced China 's `` war on faith , '' reminding them `` it is a war they will not win . ''
The sanctions against these individuals are likely in retaliation for sanctions the U.S. placed on selected Chinese officials last week for their human rights violations against Uyghur Muslims .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sanctions the U.S. and China placed on each other 's officials .
While China merely targets U.S. officials for interference in China 's human rights violations , the U.S. sanctioned Chinese officials based on actual human rights violations .
The sanctioned Chinese officials are directly responsible for developing and enacting the dystopian campaign of repression in Xinjiang .
The most high-profile individual targeted is Chen Quanguo .
As the Communist Party Secretary of Xinjiang , Chen is responsible for building the network of `` re-education '' camps in which 1-3 million innocent Uyghurs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ detained .
Outside of the camps , facial recognition technology , forced abortions , birth control and sterilizations , and an intense culture fear is used to control the daily lives of Uyghurs .
Chen and the other Chinese officials who were sanctioned under the Global Magnitsky Act , a tool designed to address global human rights violators , deserve to be singled out for their actions .
But the Chinese government is not happy about this , so they are lashing out against U.S. politicians .
The reaction of the Chinese government @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as they seek to improve human rights conditions in China .
Recent U.S. efforts have struck a nerve , and lawmakers and diplomats should continue to build on that momentum .

The fact that China is singling them out to be targeted means their actions to address China's human rights issues have had an impact.
July 15, 2020 (Family Research Council) — A handful of U.S. congressmen woke up to an angry slap on the wrist from the Chinese government on Monday.

What prompted the giant authoritarian regime to target these lawmakers? Apparently, their work to address China's many human rights violations against Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying told reporters, “Xinjiang affairs are China's internal affairs and the U.S. has no right to interfere in them.”
These congressmen deserve kudos for their work. The fact that China is singling them out to be targeted means their actions to address China's human rights issues have had an impact. China noticed their efforts and reacted. That is significant, and they should be commended.
Cruz, Rubio, and Smith have all advocated for and co-sponsored legislation to address China's religious freedom and human rights violations.
Rubio and Smith introduced the Uyghur Human Rights Policy Act, which was recently signed into law. It is meant to hold perpetrators of abuses against the Uyghur people, including the systematic use of indoctrination camps, accountable for their actions.
Cruz also joined Rubio to introduce the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which would prevent goods produced by forced labor (suspected to be sourced by China's brutal system of “re-education” camps) in Xinjiang from entering the United States.

Meanwhile, Ambassador Brownback is a consistently fearless advocate for religious freedom for all people in China. He has long denounced China's “war on faith,” reminding them “it is a war they will not win.”
The sanctions against these individuals are likely in retaliation for sanctions the U.S. placed on selected Chinese officials last week for their human rights violations against Uyghur Muslims.
But there's an obvious difference between the sanctions the U.S. and China placed on each other's officials. While China merely targets U.S. officials for interference in China's human rights violations, the U.S. sanctioned Chinese officials based on actual human rights violations.
The sanctioned Chinese officials are directly responsible for developing and enacting the dystopian campaign of repression in Xinjiang. The most high-profile individual targeted is Chen Quanguo. As the Communist Party Secretary of Xinjiang, Chen is responsible for building the network of “re-education” camps in which 1-3 million innocent Uyghurs and those other ethnic minorities remain arbitrarily detained. Outside of the camps, facial recognition technology, forced abortions, birth control and sterilizations, and an intense culture fear is used to control the daily lives of Uyghurs.
Chen and the other Chinese officials who were sanctioned under the Global Magnitsky Act, a tool designed to address global human rights violators, deserve to be singled out for their actions. But the Chinese government is not happy about this, so they are lashing out against U.S. politicians.
The reaction of the Chinese government should encourage U.S. leaders to press on as they seek to improve human rights conditions in China. Recent U.S. efforts have struck a nerve, and lawmakers and diplomats should continue to build on that momentum.
