Don't wanna be here? Send us removal request.
In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention site to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many places. He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him. https://t.co/h80fSvnP7Y

Heng Guan is awaiting an immigration hearing on Monday that could lead to his removal from the U.S. and ultimately land him back in China, according to his lawyer and a New York-based activist group.

Our ex-BuzzFeed team has provided a testimonial to the immigration court about the value of Guan's work and his incredible bravery. I hope that this man - who I am in absolute awe of - is granted the asylum he needs and deserves. You can read more here:

The Sachs piece illustrates the exact problem with the NYTimes. Voters specifically want THIS type of person, not a bureaucrat who has never worked a real job (Lina Khan, K street, Beltway type)

Today's been a good example of what X has become: complaints from a subset of wealthy tech folks about a story that circulate more widely than the actual story itself. Musk bought the platform to control the message and he and his friends are getting just that.
