The Gateway Pundit: Over 10,000 Christians Arrested in China as Xi Jinping’s Communist Regime Escalates Religious Crackdown

by Ben Kew Jul. 12, 2026 7:20 pm

Christians across Communist China are being arrested, detained and effectively “disappeared” for worshipping outside state-controlled churches, according to a major investigation by The Telegraph.

The report details accounts from underground Christians who say police have raided homes in the middle of the night, separated families and imprisoned pastors as the regime intesifies its campaign against independent religious groups.

One Christian identified only as “TJ” recalled police smashing into his home before dragging away his wife.

“They grabbed my clothes and grabbed my hands so I couldn’t move. I could hear my daughter crying so much in the room next door but I couldn’t go to her, I couldn’t hug my wife.”

His wife remains in custody, according to The Telegraph.

China officially permits Christianity only through churches controlled by the Communist Party, where congregations are expected to display portraits of Xi Jinping and demonstrate loyalty to the regime.

Millions instead worship in underground churches, placing them at risk of arrest.

According to The Telegraph, ChinaAid founder Bob Fu estimates more than 10,000 Christians have been arrested during Xi’s rule.

Recent raids reportedly targeted Beijing’s Zion Church and the Early Rain Covenant Church, with dozens detained.

Pastor Jun Yang told the newspaper authorities spent months attempting to build cases against church leaders before arresting members.

“They were trying to look for excuses to see if they could set a trap for me.”

Yang escaped only because he was overseas when police raided his home. His wife was arrested instead.

China’s embassy rejected allegations of persecution, insisting it “manages religious affairs in accordance with the law” and accusing “anti-China forces” of spreading disinformation.

But Christians see little hope while Xi remains in power.

“Once Xi Jinping is still the chairman in China, I don’t think anything will be better and if the persecution is not better, that means we cannot have our church and we are in danger anytime,” he added.

Two girls, 13, are injured in knife ‘rampage’ at German school

Two 13-year-old girls have been seriously wounded and a 16-year-old suspect arrested after an attack at a secondary school in the southern German state of Bavaria on Wednesday, according to police and local media.

‘The arrested individual is a 16-year-old juvenile,’ police confirmed in a post on X, later adding that there ‘are no indications of additional individuals involved in the offence’. They later added that this was a ’16-year-old boy’.

While the full extent of casualties is still being clarified, the two girls were confirmed as ‘seriously’ wounded, after police initially said ‘several’ people were injured.

The perpetrator appeared to have deliberately targeted the Welfen grammar school in the town of Schongau in a suspected ‘rampage’, a police spokeswoman told AFP.

She was unable to confirm press reports according to which the assailant used a knife in the attack.

More than 15 patrol cars were dispatched to the Welfen-Gymnasium in Schongau, southwest of Munich.

A police spokesperson previously told Bavarian broadcaster BR there were indications of a possible shooting spree, as officers urged the public to avoid the area.

The alarm was raised around 12.50pm local time, during school hours.

Investigators are currently determining whether the suspect is a current or former student of the school. Police said they are ‘currently assuming that the perpetrator acted alone’.

A police spokesperson told German outlet BILD: ‘We cannot rule out the possibility of a school shooting.’

The incident is believed to have taken place partly outside and partly in the immediate vicinity of the high school.

The alleged perpetrator apparently attempted to flee the scene but was apprehended a short time later.

A police helicopter was deployed during the search for the suspect.

Schongau is a small town on the banks of the Lech River in western Upper Bavaria, just north of the Alps, with a population of more than 12,000 people.

Police advised the public to continue to stay away from the scene.

‘A major police operation is underway,’ they had warned in an earlier post. ‘We are on site with numerous forces.’

A support centre for relatives and parents of students has been set up at the fire station on Bahnhofstrasse.

Security sources initially reported four injuries, but the total amount of victims has not yet been confirmed.

Police said ‘several people’ were injured without giving an exact figure.

Welfen-Gymnasium is part of a school complex. A secondary school and a middle school are also located nearby but were not affected.

Last month, a 45-year-old man in an apparent child custody dispute was the suspected shooter at a shelter for mothers and children in northern Germany.

The shooting on June 29 left six people dead.

The man ​had an appointment at the shelter in Stade, close to the port ​city of Hamburg, in the morning before opening fire midday.

All ⁠the victims – four women and two men – were employees of the facility. The ​man’s three-month-old daughter and the mother are safe.

Mass shootings are rare in Germany, ​especially when compared to the United States.

In 2023, a gunman in Hamburg shot ​dead six people before killing himself at a Jehovah’s Witness worship hall.

In 2016, an 18-year-old ‌German-Iranian ⁠man who was obsessed with mass killings killed at least nine people in Munich.

While serious violence at schools is unusual in Germany, it is not unknown.

Last year, a 17-year-old seriously wounded a 45-year-old teacher at a vocational college in the western city of Essen and was shot by police before his arrest.

In 2002, a 19-year-old gunman killed 16 people, including 12 teachers and two pupils, at a school in the eastern city of Erfurt.

Illegal Alien Soccer Coach Gets 30 Years in Prison for Filming Himself Raping Unconscious Boys

An illegal alien who coached young boys in soccer in Franklin, Tennessee, has been sentenced to three decades in federal prison for raping many of the boys he coached as they were unconscious, all while filming the abuse.

Late last week, the Department of Justice (DOJ) announced the sentencing of 66-year-old illegal alien Camilo Hurtado Campos of Mexico after he pleaded guilty to sexually exploiting children, receiving child sexual abuse material, and possessing fraudulent immigration and identification documents in June 2025.

“Camilo Campos-Hurtado preyed on children, rendered his victims incapable of resisting, recorded his horrific crimes, and concealed his true identity through fraudulent immigration and identification documents while remaining unlawfully in the United States,” U.S. Attorney Braden H. Boucek said in a statement:

Today’s sentence delivers justice for his victims and ensures that this dangerous predator will spend decades in federal prison. The Department of Justice has no higher priority than protecting children from sexual exploitation. Those who abuse children, produce or collect child sexual abuse material, or exploit our immigration system to facilitate their crimes will be identified, prosecuted, and held fully accountable. I commend Homeland Security Investigations, the Franklin Police Department, and the vigilant citizen whose actions brought these crimes to light. [Emphasis added.]

Campos was arrested in July 2023 on child sexual abuse charges in a case that sent shockwaves through Franklin’s athletics community.

As Breitbart News reported at the time, police said Campos drugged and raped multiple boys from 9 to 17 years old and recorded the abuse on his cellphone. Police said Campos may have abused upwards of 15 boys and that the abuse likely dates back many years.

The abuse was only discovered on June 22, 2023, when Campos accidentally left his phone at a local pizza parlor. Employees went through the phone and discovered the child sexual abuse material, calling the police to turn the phone over.

Campos had a decades-long arrest record and had been living illegally in neighboring Williamson County, Tennessee, for 20 years. In 2005, Campos was arrested for public intoxication. Then, in 2006, 2015, and 2016, Campos was arrested for driving without a license.

It remains unclear why Campos was never turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents for deportation following his prior arrests.

Likewise, in 2014, Campos was able to register as a soccer referee with the U.S. Soccer Federation, which would have required a background check. It is unclear how Campos passed such a review without a valid state-issued ID.

DHS slams Spanberger’s sanctuary policies after twice-deported Illegal immigrant from El Salvador charged with rape in Virginia

–

“This criminal illegal alien has been charged with rape and abduction. He has a laundry list of prior convictions for aggravated assault, destruction of property, and drug possession, as well as prior arrests for identity theft and larceny,” Acting DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said.

An illegal immigrant accused of kidnapping and raping a woman in Northern Virginia had previously been deported from the United States and amassed a lengthy criminal record before his latest arrest, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

Fairfax County Police recently arrested Juan Arevalo on charges of rape and abduction. According to DHS, Arevalo is a citizen of El Salvador who is in the country illegally. ICE has lodged an immigration detainer and is requesting that Fairfax County transfer him into federal custody rather than release him from jail if he becomes eligible. DHS says Arevalo has an extensive criminal history dating back decades. According to the department and court records, he has previous convictions for aggravated assault, attempted maiming, destruction of property, assault, illegal reentry, drug possession, obstruction of justice, failure to appear and making a false report, along with prior arrests for abduction, identity theft and larceny.

“This criminal illegal alien has been charged with rape and abduction. He has a laundry list of prior convictions for aggravated assault, destruction of property, and drug possession, as well as prior arrests for identity theft and larceny,” Acting DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said. “DHS is calling on Governor Abigail Spanberger and her fellow sanctuary politicians in Fairfax County to commit to not releasing this dangerous criminal from jail, and to instead turn him over to ICE custody so that we can remove him from our nation and end his crime spree in our country. Virginia sanctuary politicians need to stop playing Russian roulette with American lives and work with ICE law enforcement to keep criminals out of our communities.”

According to DHS, Arevalo entered the United States as a lawful permanent resident in 1991. He was convicted of destruction of property in 1998, deported in 2003, and later convicted of illegally reentering the country in 2013. “Governor Spanberger’s reckless sanctuary policies have made Virginia a hotbed for illegal alien criminals,” a DHS spokesperson said. “The stories of the victims and facts speak for themselves. So far in 2026, illegal aliens have allegedly committed the majority of all murders in Fairfax County. It is a privilege to be granted a visa or green card to live in the United States of America. When you break our laws, that privilege should be revoked, and you should not be in this country. Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, criminal illegal aliens are not welcome in the U.S.”

In January, Fairfax County Police arrested Arevalo after a high-speed chase on Interstate 495. Police said he abandoned his vehicle and fled on foot before being apprehended on outstanding warrants, including abduction and assault on a family member. Arevalo was also facing an assault charge in Prince George’s County, Maryland, after Fairfax County police planned to extradite him earlier this year. That assault charge was also later dropped. “These are serious charges and our office is committed to prosecuting them to the fullest extent of the law and the evidence. He is currently being held,” prosecutors said.

Abigail Spanberger’s Virginia a ‘hotbed’ for illegal immigrant crime, DHS says after latest rape charge

Juan Arevalo Mendez, a Salvadoran illegal immigrant with a violent criminal history, faces rape and abduction charges

After yet another illegal immigrant was charged with violent crimes in Fairfax County, Virginia, the Department of Homeland Security is once again appealing to Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger not to allow the charged individual to be released.

In a statement Tuesday, DHS ripped Spanberger on charges of being too soft on illegal immigrant crime, saying, "Under Governor Abigail Spanberger, Virginia has become a hotbed of illegal alien crime."

The latest involves Juan Arevalo Mendez, a 46-year-old twice-deported illegal immigrant from El Salvador who has been charged with rape and abduction in Fairfax County. Arevalo Mendez was arrested last week in Prince William County on charges of rape and abduction with intent to sexually assault stemming from an alleged attack in Fairfax County last September, according to DHS.

The agency said Arevalo Mendez originally entered the country legally in 1991, but his status was revoked after his first conviction for destruction of property in 1998. He was deported in 2003, illegally reentered the U.S., was deported again in 2014 and illegally reentered again at an unknown date and location. 

In addition to the illegal reentries, Arevalo Mendez has a lengthy criminal history that includes multiple convictions for assault, including aggravated assault and assault with a weapon, as well as drug possession, obstructing justice, identity theft and larceny.

The same day he was arrested, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodged a detainer for Fairfax County officials to hold Arevalo Mendez.

Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis remarked that "DHS is calling on Governor Abigail Spanberger and her fellow sanctuary politicians in Fairfax County to commit to not releasing this dangerous criminal from jail, and to instead turn him over to ICE custody so that we can remove him from our nation and end his crime spree in our country."

Bis added that "Virginia sanctuary politicians need to stop playing Russian roulette with American lives and work with ICE law enforcement to keep criminals out of our communities."

Allyson Conroy, a spokesperson for the Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office, told Fox News Digital that Arevalo Mendez "remains in the custody of the Sheriff’s Office in the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center (ADC)."

Conroy noted that "while it is still too early in the process to know the outcome of his case, ICE has been notified of Mendez’s location at the ADC, and they are able to execute their detainer by responding to the ADC and taking Mendez into custody if and when he is ordered released."

She emphasized that the "Fairfax County Sheriff’s Office does not obstruct or prevent ICE from acting on their civil detainers."

In its statement, DHS criticized Spanberger for signing an executive order terminating the state’s 287(g) program partnering state and local law enforcement with federal immigration authorities, which it suggested is contributing to the crimes.

According to the agency, Fairfax County has been especially hard hit by illegal immigrant crime in recent months. A suburb of Washington, D.C., Fairfax County is Virginia’s largest county by population and has a Democratic prosecutor, Steve Descano, and a Democratic sheriff, Stacey Kincaid. Both have been criticized by local advocacy groups, Virginians for Safe Communities and Victims Rights Reform Council, for their sanctuary-style approach to enforcement.

DHS detailed 17 alleged instances of serious crimes by illegal immigrants that took place in Virginia in 2026 alone. Nine out of those 17 cases took place in Fairfax County.

In addition to Arevalo Mendez, DHS said that in June ICE also lodged detainers with Fairfax County for Nicaraguan illegal immigrant Moises Domingo Rico Rosales, who was arrested for abduction of person with intent to defile and indecent exposure, and for Cristian Wilfredo Alvarenga Aguilar, an illegal alien charged with abduction, assault, carjacking and robbery.

In May, DHS said that ICE arrested Walvin Victor Hugo Garcia after he was released by Fairfax County despite facing charges of raping a child under the age of 13.

The month before, ICE arrested Guatemalan illegal immigrant Roni Mendez-Escobar after he was released while charged with possession of child pornography with intent to distribute. That same month, ICE lodged detainers for Salvadoran illegal alien Israel Christopher Flores-Ortiz, who was convicted of nine counts of assault and battery for groping underage girls at a Fairfax County high school; Guatemalan illegal alien Misael Lopez Gomez, who was charged with murder and felony child abuse after allegedly bludgeoning his 3-month-old daughter to death; and two illegal alien murderers, Maldin Anibal Guzman-Videz and Luis Alonzo Sort-Portillo, who were convicted of stabbing a man to death and given plea deals of five years in prison each.

In March, ICE also lodged a detainer for Anibal Armando Chavarria Muy, an illegal alien from Guatemala who was charged with second-degree murder after allegedly fatally stabbing a man inside his home in Bailey’s Crossroads.

Tom Homan: Blue Sanctuary States Hiding Dangerous Illegal Migrant Truckers

Trump border czar Tom Homan says that Democrats’ sanctuary city policies are shielding thousands of illegal migrant truckers amid a federal crackdown.
— Homeland Security (@DHSgov)
Homan said that the Department of Homeland Security and Trump Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy are doing a great job rooting out and cancelling the CDLs that states had given to illegals during the Biden years, but he noted the task is mostly being performed among red states while blue states are actively preventing federal officials from having access to state DMV databases.

“We’ve removed thousands of aliens with CDLs, we’re working very closely with many states. DHS is working hand in hand with Sean Duffy and his department,” Homan told Fox News, adding, “So, the problem is we’re working very well with red states, blue states are still struggling, right? Places like New York, I mean, ICE and CBP can’t even get access to the DMV database to run the checks.”

Homan then blasted blue state sanctuary laws.

“So, you know, the continuation of sanctuary states, sanctuary cities, you know, thank God Todd Blanche is suing these cities as they come up and we’ve got to keep suing them,” he said.

“But we’re out there, enforcing law,” he said, “We’re out there looking for these illegal aliens with CDLs. In the last five days, ICE has arrested over 10,000 illegal aliens, which is a record for the agency.”

Homan also noted that ICE is moving into trucker weigh stations across the country to grab up illegal alien truckers.

“Actually, in some states we are actually working in weigh stations with the troopers trying to get these people coming through, so, it’s a work in progress,” Homan said.

The efforts to remove illegal aliens from the nation’s truck driver pool comes after a growing number of Americans have died in accidents on the nation’s highways at the hands of truck drivers who are ill trained and often don’t even speak English and cannot read road signs.

For example, an illegal alien from Uzbekistan named Bekhzod Asrarov, 42, was arrested after he reportedly hit and killed a 21-year-old American named Tobby Forsythethis month. Officials say that Asrarov cannot speak English and medical personnel had to use Google Translate to communicate with him at the accident scene.

Also this month, an illegal alien from Haiti was driving a commercial vehicle on I-81 in Schuylkill County when he ran down Pennsylvania State Trooper Michael Pahira, Jr., who was performing a roadside safety inspection on another semi.

The truck that slammed into the vehicle Trooper Pahira was inspecting was reportedly being driven by 33-year-old Haitian migrant Michael Bon, who entered the country in 2024 thanks to Joe Biden’s extension of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program. Bon’s status was revoked in 2025 by the Trump administration and the migrant was informed that he had to leave the country at the time. Despite that, Bon was working as a commercial truck driver with a Massachusetts driver’s license, according to reports.

In yet another case, a Sikh migrant driving a truck in Chicago ran down a motorist who was attempting to change a flat tire on the side of I-80. Police determined that Kulgeet Kang, 34, was on his cell phone when the stranded motorist was killed and that Kang did not stop after running the man down and killing him.

These are just a few examples of the dozens of cases resulting in the deaths of Americans on the roadways at the hands of illegal alien truckers.
