CRUELTY! Triple-Amputee Vet Brian Kolfage Forced To Wear Giant Ankle Bracelet On Only Wrist!
Infuriating!
Triple-amputee Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage was wrongfully imprisoned by the infamous SDNY Democrat operatives over being paid an approved salary for his part in getting miles of privately funded border wall built in Texas and New Mexico.
Brian was recently released from prison to home confinement. The Bureau of Prisons contracts NGOs to manage individuals who are allowed to be on home confinement.
One of the stipulations for his home confinement is that he wear an ankle bracelet. The only problem? Both of Brian's legs were blown off along with the lower part of his right arm.
Brian was told by an NGO employee that the only choice he had was to put the giant ankle bracelet on his last remaining limb, his left arm.
This is absolutely cruel and unusual punishment. There are watches that can be used in place of ankle bracelets. Why wasn't Brian given that option? It's egregious.
Brian sent me a text and told me the problems the ankle bracelet is causing.
"It’s horrible, like having a brick duct taped to your hand. Since it’s my only limb, it’s constantly getting in the way of my wheelchair when I try to roll. It’s caused me to fall multiple times when it interferes with my hand grip when transferring out of my wheelchair. It’s a disgrace, is what it really is; they should be ashamed to do such a thing."
Follow Brian on Instagram. Follow him on X.
I showed my good friend, combat Marine vet Ron Givens, who is good friends with Harmeet Dhillon. Dhillon is the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Justice in President Trump's administration. Givens was appalled by what Brian is being made to go through.
Givens told me that it is cruel and unusual punishment and that he will be in contact with Dhillon to see what her office can do about it.
Everyone should be furious about the treatment this war hero is being subjected to. Be sure to contact your member of Congress and ask that they inquire why a triple-amputee war veteran is being treated like this.
I've been heading up public relations for Brian since he was wrongfully imprisoned for getting privately funded border walls built. I was the photographer and news editor for his border wall non-profit, We Build the Wall, and I have been employed by Brian on and off since 2015. I began covering his life story in 2013.
