40 Uyghur Muslim men deported from Thailand to China
A group of 40 Uyghur Muslim men detained in Thailand for more than a decade were deported to China in the early hours of February 27th, reports Christian Solidarity Worldwide.
Romadon Panjor, a Thai Member of Parliament, reported witnessing two sets of vehicles with covered windows transporting detainees from the International Detention Centre in Suan Phlu, Bangkok.
The 40 men were among a group of approximately 300 Uyghurs who were detained by Thai authorities on March 13, 2014 after crossing the border into Thailand in an attempt to escape persecution in China.
Family Research Council has documented that China is detaining 1.8-3 million Uyghur Muslims in Internment Camps.
Mexico extradites dozens of cartel leaders to US
Mexico has begun the process of extraditing dozens of high-level cartel leaders and members to the United States, including Rafael Caro Quintero, a former leader of the Guadalajara cartel involved in the kidnapping and murder of Drug Enforcement Administration agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena in 1985, reports FoxNews.
The founders of Los Zetas, Miguel and Omar Morales, also known as Z-40 and Z-42, will be extradited to the U.S. as well.
The extraditions were done at the request of the U.S. government as President Donald Trump’s tariff deadline looms. One of the president’s demands is for Mexico to crack down on dangerous cartels and fentanyl production and distribution.

Trump and Vance confront Zelenskyy in Oval Office
President Donald Trump berated Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for being “disrespectful” Friday in an extraordinary Oval Office meeting, then abruptly called off the signing of a minerals deal that Trump said would have moved Ukraine closer to ending its war with Russia, reports the Associated Press.
Here’s the key moment as Zelensky is explaining how Russian President Vladimir Putin did not keep his word.
ZELENSKYY: “[Putin] killed our people, and he didn’t exchange prisoners. We signed the exchange of prisoners, but he didn’t do it. What kind of diplomacy, J.D., you are speaking about? What do you mean?”
VANCE: “I’m talking about the kind of diplomacy that’s going to end the destruction of your country.”
ZELENSKYY: (inaudible) “Yes, but …”
VANCE: “Mr. President, Mr. President, with respect. I think it’s disrespectful for you to come to the Oval Office and try to try to litigate this in front of the American media. Right now, you guys are going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president for trying to bring an end to this conflict.”
ZELENSKYY: “Have you ever been to Ukraine that you say what problems we have?”
VANCE: “I have been to…”
ZELENSKYY: “You have come once.”
VANCE: “I have actually, I’ve actually watched and seen the stories, and I know what happens is you bring people. You bring them on a propaganda tour, Mr. President. Do you disagree that you’ve had problems bringing people in your military?”
ZELENSKY: “We have problems.”
VANCE: “And do you think.”
ZELENSKYY: “I will answer.”
VANCE: “that it’s respectful to come to the Oval Office of the United States of America and attack the administration that is trying to prevent the destruction of your country?”
ZELENSKY: “A lot of questions. Let’s start from the beginning.”
VANCE: “Sure.”
ZELENSKYY: “First of all, during the war, everybody has problems, even you. But you have nice ocean and don’t feel now, but you will feel it in the future.”
TRUMP: “You don’t know that. Don’t tell us what we’re gonna feel. We’re trying to solve a problem. Don’t tell us what we’re gonna feel.”
ZELENSKYY: “I’m not telling you. I’m answering all his questions.”
TRUMP: “because you’re no position to dictate that exactly.”
TRUMP: “You’re in no position to dictate what we’re going to feel. We’re going to feel very good.”
ZELENSKYY: “You will feel influenced.”
TRUMP: “We’re going to feel very good and very strong.”
ZELENSKYY: “You will feel influenced.”
TRUMP: “You’re right now not in a very good position. You don’t have the cards right now. With us, you start having cards.”
ZELENSKY: “I’m not playing cards. I’m very serious, Mr. President.”
TRUMP: “You’re playing cards. You’re gambling with the lives of millions of people. You’re gambling with World War Three!”
Social Security announces significant workforce reductions
The Social Security Administration is set to lay off a large number of employees, with workers being offered incentives of up to $25,000 for voluntary separation, reports The Epoch Times.
Heart disease could be prevented with this one simple test
After abortion, heart disease is the second leading cause of mortality.
But that doesn’t mean people are powerless against the condition — there are some steps they can take to help reduce the risk.
In addition to adopting healthier lifestyle habits, getting a specific screening — the coronary artery calcium or CAC score — can help detect early signs of heart disease, reports Fox News.
The CAC score is a specialized Computed Tomography or CT scan that measures calcium buildup in the walls of the heart’s arteries, according to board-certified cardiologist Dr. Robert Segal, founder of Manhattan Cardiology.
He said, “This calcium points to the accumulation of plaque that can cause heart disease.” The higher the score, the more calcium in the arteries, thus a greater likelihood of a heart attack, stroke or other cardiac issue.
In 1 Corinthians 6:19, the Apostle Paul asks, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own.”
New abortion battle opening up over state shield laws
And finally, the national abortion battle is moving to a new front, and it’s one that stretches across state lines, reports The Epoch Times.
A telemedicine abortion provider in New York has thrust the state’s abortion shield law into the spotlight, setting the stage for an unprecedented state-against-state clash on one of the nation’s most divisive issues.
Abortionist Maggie Carpenter of New Paltz, New York, was fined in Texas and charged in Louisiana for providing abortion kill pills to patients in the two states, where the procedure is all but banned.
Judge Bryan Gantt of Collin County, Texas, ordered Carpenter to pay $100,000 in penalties, plus attorney’s fees, for prescribing the abortion kill pill to a woman near Dallas in violation of Texas law. He also barred the doctor from prescribing abortion medication to future Texas patients.
The February 13th ruling was made just two days after Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry signed a warrant for Carpenter’s arrest and extradition to his state to stand trial for allegedly prescribing abortion kill pills to a pregnant minor.
