"What concerned me was that this has never been requested before, especially not from HHS," an insider within the Department of Veterans Affairs told O’Keefe Media Group, revealing an internal memorandum requesting medical personnel ahead of the 2025 Presidential Inauguration. The documents, addressed to Dr. Paul D. Kim of the Veterans Health Administration’s Office of Emergency Management, detail a formal appeal for paramedics, emergency nurses, and doctors.
When questioned by James O’Keefe about if it was typical for the Office of Emergency Management to administer this kind of memorandum for previous inaugurations, Derrick Jaastad, the Executive Director for the VHA Office of Emergency Management, said, “I was not with the organization, so I can’t speak to that.
Directed to speak with Public Affairs Specialist Kurt M. Rauschenberg, an OMG Journalist, asked if the deployment of medical personnel by HHS was typical for a presidential inauguration. Similar to Jaastad’s response, Rauschenberg replied, “I personally can’t speak to previous inaugurations.”
Despite a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Department of Health and Human Services, O’Keefe Media Group did not receive an explanation.
On Saturday, September 21st, 2024, Vermont State Trooper Daniel Bohnyak detained me for asking for comment on Border Patrol Agent Zachary Apotheker being retaliated against for detailing how underage girls are being sent to unknown locations without proper biometrics and MS-13 gang members are receiving free healthcare, in the film "Line in the Sand."
Today we salute you, Sophie Clark of Newsweek, for CORRECTING the false narrative that I "was not detained" by Vermont State Police.
After releasing a correction acknowledging that Vermont State Police did detain me, backed by video evidence of the Vermont State Trooper saying "You are not free to leave," your journalism has finally caught up with the facts.
All this could have been avoided if we just stick to the facts! Next time, try getting it right the first time.

Border Patrol Agent Zachary Apotheker (@ZachApotheker), featured in "Line in the Sand," blew the whistle on child trafficking and border crimes, resulting in retaliation from Vermont Customs and Border Protection. His law enforcement authority was revoked, he received a cease and desist letter, and he was reassigned to administrative duties with a pay cut. CJF has stepped in to support him, providing a $100,000 check to cover legal fees and personal challenges as he continues to fight efforts to silence him.
Inspired by Apotheker, fellow Border Patrol Agent Aaron Veckey came forward to expose cartel control and human rights violations at the U.S.-Mexico border. Veckey described overcrowded and inhumane conditions for migrants and revealed the overwhelming pressures placed on agents to stay silent. Despite receiving a cease and desist letter, Veckey chose to risk his career and pension to bring these atrocities to light, prioritizing justice over personal security.
