Border Patrol Agent Zachary Apotheker, a whistleblower featured in James O'Keefe's debut film "Line in the Sand," continues to face severe retaliation from Customs and Border Protection in Vermont for exposing the realities of child trafficking. In a recent letter signed by a Division Chief, Apotheker's law enforcement authority has been "temporarily revoked." The letter mandates the removal of his badge, tactical phone, radio, body armor, and electronic control device, relegating him to administrative duties with a significant cut in pay.
The Citizen Journalism Foundation (CJF) is stepping in to counter these actions, covering Apotheker's legal fees and offering essential support during this challenging time. CJF remains committed to protecting whistleblowers by providing legal guidance and advocating for those who bring forward evidence that serves the public interest.

Rick Addante returned to Florida Tech from family leave and was given a choice: take the money or keep his soul.
“That night we went home, we felt free. It felt like we got out of Shawshank, without having to pay the price of your soul.”
On what he hopes his kids take away from it: “I hope to give them a lifetime of experiences seeing that their father, their mother, their family does the right thing and doesn’t cave to sacrifice their integrity.”
