The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the Falun Gong Protection Act (H.R. 4132) on Tuesday evening by a voice vote, a bipartisan bill sponsored by Rep. Scott Perry and the Foreign Affairs Committee. The legislation aims to impose sanctions on nations and individuals involved in the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) forced organ harvesting practices, specifically targeting those responsible for the persecution of Falun Gong practitioners.

Rich McCormick, have publicly condemned the CCP's actions, emphasizing the need for the U.S. to address these egregious violations.
