💍 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. . #thursdayvibes #thowbackthursday #romantic #love #proposal #marriage

Interested media should RSVP to media @ ufw . org. 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."

Artistically edited photo of an attractive man in his late 20s or early 30s, with red hair and a beard. He’s rubbing his hand over his jaw and looking askance at something to the side. There’s a backdrop of a brick wall.

Niall gapes at his friend’s retreating back, wiping a hand over his jaw in what I’m discerning is his signature move.

Artistically edited photo of an attractive man with chin length red hair and a beard, staring thoughtfully at the camera, the background of a café. The photo is not edited with generative AI.

Caption:

“This is the same man who abandoned us when I was too young to remember and went on to have a replacement family with his mistress. I’m not as bitter about that anymore, because I got my little sister Elspeth out of the bargain. But Gordon never sent us a penny,”

Artistically edited photo of a Caucasian woman with curly dark hair and glasses who is reading a book (book is off camera). She has her elbow propped on the back of a sofa. There is a gold chain link bracelet on her wrist.

Caption:

She casually leans her elbow on the bar and rests her temple on her pointed fingers. For the first time, I notice the bracelet around her left wrist – a classy gold chain-link style, with a medallion at its center.

Artistically edited photo of a man and two women lying on a bed together, looking up at the camera. Interspersed shadow and sunlight from nearby blinds shade their faces.

Caption:

The way they treat each other in the throes of gaming, you’d think they hate each other; but nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, that’s why I hesitate to describe Lilo as my flatmate. Sure, she used to be, and she still splits rent with me. But she’s basically moved in with Chris and Elspeth now.
