What it is

In a troubling case unfolding in California, police have removed 21 children from a couple with connections to China. This complicated situation highlights profound ethical, moral, and legal dilemmas that demand attention.

Why it matters

Mark Surrogacy’s operation would have continued if not for one of the children, a two-month-old infant, who had to be rushed to the hospital in May
Additionally, the couple is entangled in two lawsuits from former employees of their real estate business, raising further questions about their integrity
In May, Zhang and Xuan were arrested on allegations of felony child endangerment and neglect
U.S. immigration law prohibits immigrants with “membership in or affiliation with the Communist or any other totalitarian party” from becoming naturalized citizens
Thus, it is curious how Xuan, a high-ranking CCP member linked to genocide in Xinjiang, was able to obtain U.S. citizenship
This situation highlights serious enforcement issues in immigration laws and warrants investigation
