Former Vice President Mike Pence praised President Donald Trump for securing the release of Ezra Jin Mingri, a pastor detained by Chinese authorities. In a post on X, Pence stated that Trump should be commended for raising Jin's case with Chinese President Xi Jinping during a state visit. Jin, who leads Beijing's unregistered Zion Church, was detained in October along with 17 other church leaders. He has since arrived in Los Angeles to reunite with his family. Jin’s family expressed gratitude to Trump and acknowledged that the release was facilitated by Xi's intervention. Pence also called for the release of Hong Kong activist Jimmy Lai. Senator Rick Scott thanked Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for their roles in Jin's release while continuing to advocate for Lai's freedom.
