Save the Persecuted Christians

As Christians in Nigeria continue to face brutal violence and death for their faith this Holy Week, I joined VAT Chairman @Robert_Aderholt in leading 19 of our colleagues in a statement condemning violence and persecution against Christians. We also reminded the Nigerian government that President Trump signed bipartisan legislation that includes language that @MarioDB and I fought for to explicitly tie continued U.S. security assistance to the Nigerians making significant progress in addressing violence against Christians in the Middle Belt. This horrific persecution must end. Now.

🚨BREAKING Victory for America - BYE BYE JIHADI! ICE Finally Nabs Hamas Scumbag Salah Sarsour – Decades of Terror Funding Exposed! (PAY ATTENTION, TEXAS - SEE BELOW) They just took down a notorious Hamas operative who's been embedded in America's heartland for over 30 years. On March 30, 2026, over a dozen federal vehicles swarmed Salah Sarsour, Milwaukee furniture store owner, President of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, and top dog in the American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) network. He's now sitting in an immigration detention facility in Clay County, Indiana. His supporters are screaming "abduction" and flooding X with #FreeSalahSarsour. Cry harder. DEPORT THEM TOO! This isn't some innocent "community leader." Sarsour is a documented Hamas supporter with a rap sheet going back to the 1990s, one that U.S. authorities let slide while he built mosques, businesses, and a jihad fundraising machine right here on American soil. This is the enemy within that patriots have been warning about for years: a Hamas financier who used green cards and furniture stores as cover to send cash to terrorists, then rebranded as a "Palestine advocate." Decades of Direct Hamas Ties: 💣Jailed 8 months in Israel in 1995 for supporting Hamas — where he buddyed up with Adel Awadallah, West Bank commander of Hamas’s Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. 💣Named in 2001 FBI memos as a Hamas fundraiser tied to the Holy Land Foundation (biggest terror-financing conviction in U.S. history). 💣 Brother admitted using the family furniture business to funnel money to Hamas operatives. 💣Current national board member of AMP, repeatedly exposed as a rebranded Hamas support pipeline with multiple leaders tied to terror networks. For 30+ years, this guy lived large in Milwaukee, leading organizations and pushing antisemitic activism while his terror file collected dust. The fact it took until 2026 for ICE to act proves how deep the Islamic infiltration rot has gotten. Deport him NOW. Full proceedings, no delays. 🚨 Texas, pay attention. First, we had Muslim Brotherhood-tied Sami Hamdi nabbed by ICE. Then Muslim Brotherhood-tied Marwan Marouf, a leader with the Muslim American Society (MAS) of Dallas. NOW we have Hamas’ Salah Sarsour picked up... and guess who is crying again? 🔥Texas Imam Omar Suleiman. Does anyone want to guess which of his friends is next? Congress needs to rip open the entire AMP network, their funding, campus ops, and every mosque/nonprofit tied to it. How many more Salah Sarsours are still walking free, plotting under the guise of "advocacy"? America is finally waking up. Secure the homeland. Deport them all.

URGENT SECURITY UPDATE PLATEAU STATE NIGERIA: Simultaneous Attacks report in Kwi of Riyom, Nding of Fan and Ban of Heipang. ‐----‐------------------------------------------ EquippingThePersecuted.org and TruthNigeria.com issued a terror alert about this area 2 weeks ago. No protection. No prevention. Our intelligence sources say attacks are going to continue throughout easter week. Be alert. Be vigilant.

To all my friends & pastors gathering at the White House today for an Easter Sunday lunch with @POTUS: PLEASE bring awareness that Christians across Nigeria are being slaughtered for their faith! I am on the ground here NOW and can confirm this. DO NOT FORGET THEM 🙏🏽🇳🇬

This is disgusting. A new low, even for the @NYTimes. It’s been barely a day since Jos was rocked by this horrific attack by radical Islamic terrorists against peaceful Christians, and the Times couldn’t bother to ask for comment before running this anti-Christian hit. Here’s what I would have said if you asked for comment: "How many more Christians need to be slaughtered by Muslims, particularly on holy days, before the failing New York Times acknowledges that Christians in Nigeria are being massacred for their faith in our Lord and Savior? It’s pretty obvious if you aren’t trying to pass your radical political agenda off as news."

Happy Palm Sunday to my friends, family and colleagues everywhere. May this Holy Week bring each and everyone of you closer to our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray for all Christians enduring relentless persecution in Syria, Nigeria, India, China and wherever else it is dangerous to be Christian. May they know the grace and mercy of Our Heavenly Father in their suffering. May we who worship in comfort give consolation and friendship to those who worship under threat of death and destruction. May God bless the vulnerable with safety and security this Easter. May the Holy Spirit ignite your faith with fullness and fire. Peace be with you.
