Senator Ted Budd(@SenTedBuddNC):While we are overcome with joy that Pastor Ezra Jin was released, eight Zion Church leaders remain imprisoned as the CCP fast-tracks harsh sentences against them. Ahead of the Trump-Xi summit, I urge @POTUS to advocate for their release. A Chinese government that imprisons pastors and restricts religious freedom is intolerable to the U.S.
