Jorden Mink has been held in pre-trial detention for eleven months without bond—largely under 22-23 hour solitary lockdown—in the D.C. Correctional Treatment Facility for crimes he is accused of committing on January 6th.
These are severe measures, considering Mink’s own indictment alleges he caused no bodily harm to a single person that day. So why such drastic measures, considering he has never committed a felony offense before?
Mink, a 28-year-old Pittsburgh man and father of a young son, wounded the pride of the anti-American Administration we now find ourselves ruled under—and it, in turn, set out to ruin his life.
With a thirst for blood no normal person can comprehend, the Biden regime and Garland-led Dictatorship of Justice hopes to ruin his eight-year-old boy’s life in the process, too, by keeping his father’s face from him for almost a year—fair retribution for what it sees as the ultimate sin, existing as a Trump supporter and exercising freedom.
His little boy is another innocent victim of a world without justice.

The list of Constitutional violations grows more grotesque daily, as roughly forty men held in D.C.’s “Gitmo” jail have collectively experienced months of unlivable conditions and been denied rights fundamental to this country.
Most glaringly, these forsaken rights include: protections against unwarranted searches and seizures (4th Amendment), the guarantee of due process of law (5th Amendment), the right to a speedy trial (6th Amendment) and protection from cruel and unusual punishment (8th Amendment).
These abuses are of international significance, with our government violating human rights standards it has agreed to on the world stage, as established by the United Nations.
Living in this nightmare is not something that most American’s can believe, let alone understand. Mink’s significant other of eleven years, Lexie, wrote a statement for the Gateway Pundit to give the American people some understanding of this chilling experience that began in an instant, 335 days ago.

Her full statement is published below:
“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.”On a daily basis I get asked “how are you doing?” My response is always the same, “I am okay.” But the truth of the matter is I am not.
In just this last year I lost my best friend, my other half and the father of my child. The last time I saw my fiancé was January 18th, 2021. Imagine being home with your seven year old son and your dog, all of a sudden you hear your name being called to come out with your hands up. You open the door to see a tank-like truck with several otherunmarked vehicles in front of your house along with red and blue lights. When you go outside you realize your entire house is surrounded by men in uniform with firearms.
I went outside for them to put me in handcuffs and go into my home where my child was sleeping in hisbedroom. I asked them to let me getmy dog who wasbarking because he was being protective of us & I was scared that they would shoot him.
Who would’ve thought going to a peaceful protest would change your entire life?! Jorden & thousands of others American people that share the same passion for America came together to hear Trump speak. He went just to experience something new. A few hours went by & all hell broke loose.
The only people who know the truth behind all of this are the people who were there! Pictures & videos only show part of what happened in real life. There are three sides to every story: yours, theirs & the TRUTH. Jorden went with NO intentions of anything BAD happening. I guess people don’t believe in second chances, or being fair anymore.
Jorden was raised by a single mother who worked hard for what she had/has. She has such a sweet, genuine soul She has never given up, and always remains to have a positive impact in people’s lives. She is caring, giving, helpful etc. Jorden was taught all those same traits, and follows them still to this day. Jorden will admit when he is in the wrong, he will also tell you how it is if needed. But we are talking about a guy who battled with demons for a very long time and switched his entire life around in two years. He has always been there for my son and I, family, friends and even strangers! The media has slandered his name, making him out to be this horrible monster of a person. My main objective is to give a little insight on who Jorden truly is…
We are talking about a man who risks himself to save children from getting attacked by a shark, or a swarm of bees. A man who sees a homeless person and makes sure they have a meal & drink or something to wear, a man who takes troubled teenagers in under his wing to help them get on a better life path & to show them they have a purpose in this world, a man who volunteered to get his kidneys tested for his mother’s coworker who he doesn’t even know but to help her because he knows his mother cares for her coworker. A man who saw a house on fire, called 911 and ran in to save the family’s animals. When my child was asked at school what is one thing you love most about your dad, his response was “that my dad is nice to people” to me that speaks volumes.
Eleven months ago Jorden was ripped from our family. He was moved to 4 different prisons until he finally reached his 5th one in DC. In the beginning of him being there he was locked down for 14 days in a cell for 24 hours each day, because he caught COVID. When he was released from medical, he was in solitary confinement for 23 hours & only allowed out for 1 hour per day. That is mentally & emotionally abusive.
He is denied to finish his education, get a haircut or shave (he can use Nair to chemically burn his hair off), nail clippers just anything to do with proper hygiene, no visitations, no video call visits, just phone calls, no religious services, no proper medical care unless you get the vaccine! Jorden has lost about 30 to 35 pounds sincebeing there due to malnourishment.
There’s mold, no clean drinking water (it quickly turns brown). If something positive happens in there, or they even see a little bit of happiness on their faces the next day they are punished for something & put on lockdown. This goes for all the political prisoners! I could go on and on.
We have a seven year old son, who wants nothing more than his father to be home for hisbirthday andthe holidays! Our child doesn’t even want to put up a Christmas tree or receive presents thisyear because he would rather have his father home.Just think of the impact this has taken on our sweet, innocent child. The stress of wondering when his dad is going to come home. This has given our little boy such anxiety & depression HE’S SEVEN. HE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FEEL THIS WAY.
Jorden has always had my back, even on days when I felt like giving up he motivated me to be the best version of myself & for that I will always respect him, and stand by his side!
This has affected me mentally, emotionally & financially. I continue to stay strong for our child & Jorden. In just this past year we have lost a young cousin, two aunts & a brother, who my son was very close with and couldn’t even have his father there to help him through it. Imagine being locked away and getting a phone call that a family member you are close to passes, then another one & another… oh wait, and another. WE WILL NEVER SEE OUR LOVED ONES AGAIN, we get to visit them at their graves.
Every night I cry myself to sleep knowing that Jorden is there, my son is hurting & there is nothing I can do for either of them. I feel so lost at times, I don’t enjoy things I once did. I lost myself. I don’t know where I would be without the support team I have. I am now a single mother working a lot of hours trying to stay a float and still trying to maintain a normal life for our child. Days that I feel like giving up I look into my child’s eyes and know that I am doing everything I can for him to have a great life (as great as I can make it).

Though history begs us not to repeat itself, the telltale notes of an ominous authoritarian song are touching the individual lives of more and more Americans. Every day its timbre is increasingly desperate for our awareness.
The rounding up of political opposition with weaponized enforcement arms; the complicity of civil servants, robed dignitaries, businessmen and academics; the Pavlovian response of a divided people, eager customers of cheap rhetoric who froth at the thought of punitive revenge against an imagined enemy—it’s own brothers. These are the warning calls of the January 6th families and their experience. America, they call for your attention.
In A Report on the Banality of Evil, Hannah Arendt wrote of the allies of the S.S. agenda: “[Their] triumph demands that the tortured victim allow himself to be led to the noose without protesting, that he renounce and abandon himself to the point of ceasing to affirm his identity… They know that the system which succeeds in destroying its victim before he mounts the scaffold… is incomparably the best for keeping a whole people in slavery.”
Could any American fathom a government so similar to Hitler’s Germany in its own homeland?
We must stand with those who are speaking out about their true experiences. Their bravery cannot be overstated. The reality of the United States government’s treatment of these citizens and their families must be shared. We must protest their abuse. Please reach out to support this young family in their time of need. Let them know that they are not forgotten.
