💍 I’ll go first! My husband and I are Episcopalian. During the week that happened to coincide with Easter, we traveled to Washington, D.C. After Easter service at the National Cathedral, he proposed in the garden outside.

Ahead of his press
availability, George Retes issues the following statement:
"My name is George Retes. I’m a 25-year-old U.S. Army veteran, a U.S. citizen, and I work as a security guard at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, California. On July 10th, I was wrongfully detained by ICE agents while simply trying to report to work. I was pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed, had my car window smashed, and was dragged out of my vehicle at gunpoint — all while I was nonviolent, and doing nothing wrong. I clearly identified myself as a U.S. citizen and an employee of the farm, yet federal agents ignored me, yelled conflicting orders, and then violently detained me. I was held in custody for three days without any charges, without a phone call, and without access to legal help. I was never told why I was arrested. I never received care to clean myself despite being covered in tear gas and OC spray for days. This is not how any person should be treated — especially not a veteran who served this country with honor. I didn’t break any law. I was just trying to go to work. What happened to me wasn’t just a mistake — it was a violation of my civil rights. It was excessive force. And it was a failure of justice. I’m speaking out not just for myself, but for every citizen who could’ve ended up in my place that day. I’m calling for a full investigation into the actions of ICE and other agencies involved in this operation. I want the agents who ignored protocol and used force against me to be held accountable. And I want the public to know the truth: this raid didn’t just target immigrants. It hurt Americans too. I will not stay silent. I served this country, and now I’m demanding it do right by me." Mr George Retes during deployment in the US army

Artistically edited photo of an attractive man with red hair and a beard, looking at the camera with a serious expression, against the backdrop of a cityscape. The photo is edited in the style of a painting. Caption “He’s a businessman, through-and-through. He thinks he can buy anyone's loyalty and submission for the right price. And when that transaction involves family, that's what he calls love.”
