From Brian:
I need to thank everybody thus far for all of the letters & prayers. My well being right here is in a frequently worsening section.
As a result of they don’t have any adaptive train gear for me to do cardio workout routines, my physique is turning into diabetic. I barely eat any meals as a result of I’m attempting to maintain my weight down, and once I do eat, it’s just a few bran cereal. Nonetheless, my A1C ranges proceed to rise. They’re inflicting me everlasting harm to my physique on high of all the pieces else I’ve occurring.
They’ve been unable to deal with my horrific sciatic nerve ache as a result of I’m sitting all day in a wheelchair; my spin is crushing that nerve, and it’s one thing that occurs a couple of instances every week.
Once I was residence, I had the correct routine to relaxation my backbone, which allowed this ache to solely occur possibly twice a 12 months. It’s excruciating, and the very fact I’m being put via that is fallacious; they don’t seem to be in a position to look after my wants right here.
My solely remaining limb has infected tendons and lots of points as a result of overuse of it. My hand was reconstructed again at Walter Reed Nationwide Medical Heart after I used to be initially wounded in Iraq. These surgeons have instructed me repeatedly to not abuse my hand as it’s being abused right here, or it should primarily collapse. I can barely elevate my arm up, and my fingers lock up and don’t bend or keep bent. It’s not good.
I need to thank Deborah, Diane, Karen, and Taylor, and it seems like an “Andrew,” however I can’t decipher the signature. I’ve learn your letters, and they’re pinned on my bulletin board. Thanks! The employees right here have been attempting to assist me get out via the correct networks; nonetheless, the bureaucrats in DC management all the pieces. I’ll maintain everybody posted on any developments.
Thanks,

Howdy, everybody. Jeff Rainforth right here. I received an replace from Brian Kolfage that he requested me to cross on.
Due to everybody serving to, those that pledged help, and the shops serving to unfold the phrase, like Jim Hoft’s Gateway Pundit.
The official site for the movement to Free Brian Kolfage is here. This replace from Brian is there, too. All communications from him will seem there. I’m posting on my website for now with the intention to attain extra folks.
Right here’s the message from Brian:
Hey, that is Brian, I need to thank everybody for his or her unbelievable help via this troublesome time. I’m in extreme ache each single day.
The FBOP lied to the decide at my sentencing and acknowledged they’d don’t have any drawback giving me the meds that I take for ache. Once I arrived and checked myself in final August, 15 months in the past, they threw my meds within the trash and mentioned it was towards their coverage to provide them for ache.
Along with that, nothing is accessible for me right here, despite the fact that it’s a medical facility. I really feel like I’m in a third-world gulag, having to make use of plastic pails to go to the lavatory for each urination and defecation. I haven’t even showered since I arrived right here; that is inhumane and uncalled for after having given 3 limbs for this nation.
I’ve a house that was constructed for me with all accessibility, from the restroom to the bathe; it is senseless why I’ve to be right here when the feds may have positioned me on residence confinement since they’re unable to look after me correctly and humanely.
The warden and the physician have requested that I be set free to serve my sentence at residence, as they know the shortage of therapy right here shouldn’t be okay; nonetheless, the bureaucrats in DC deny them each time.
Please maintain me and my household in your prayers and share this Substack with anyone who may be able to help.
A part of the unique article is beneath with Brian’s first letter from jail, the place he explains he’s slowly dying. There are additionally directions find out how to contact him on the backside. Thanks once more, everybody, for supporting struggle hero Brian Kolfage!
Triple-amputee Air Power veteran Brian Kolfage is slowly dying in a federal jail. The shortage of correct look after this struggle hero is surprising, egregious, and infuriating.
Kolfage was wrongfully imprisoned by the notorious SDNY Democrat operatives over being paid an accepted wage for his half in getting miles of privately funded border wall inbuilt Texas and New Mexico.
Kolfage was sentenced to 51 months by the identical DOJ operation that focused Trump. Stephen Okay. Bannon was pardoned by President Trump for these similar costs. Following the pardon, Alvin Bragg charged Bannon via the state of New York.
Kolfage based We Construct the Wall to construct border partitions when the federal government wouldn’t due to Democratic Social gathering obstruction.
I’ve labored with Brian since 2015, and he introduced me on to We Construct the Wall because the photographer and information editor. I filmed development of our border wall from begin to end. Beneath is a brief clip from once we had been a few third of the way in which executed.

Kolfage despatched me the next message to share with the general public. As a result of he’s a triple-amputee veteran, and the “most severely wounded Airman to outlive any struggle,” he requires particular consideration to his medical wants, which aren’t being offered within the jail.
From Kolfage:
I’ve to sh** in a plastic pan that’s not even a bedpan. I can’t use the bathrooms as a result of they’re too unsafe and I’ve fallen off them. I’ve to urinate right into a plastic jug too.
They don’t have anything for my physique to remain bodily wholesome, they’ve by no means handled a triple amputee like myself. Due to their incapacity to look after me long-term, I’m now pre-diabetic, my livers are infected, my blood stress is excessive, and my ldl cholesterol can be now excessive. Every thing they’re doing to me is fucking me up internally and my organs are all having issues. The physician right here final week mentioned I’m at a excessive danger for a coronary heart assault now. That is 100% on them. I got here in right here wholesome.
I used to be instructed I wanted to see a hand surgeon now. They’ve ruined my final remaining limb. Like the federal government hasn’t taken sufficient of my physique, they need my final remaining limb. The overuse of my hand right here has destroyed it, my fingers get caught and don’t bend. If my tendons rupture, my hand won’t ever work once more prefer it ought to. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
The physician right here had me taken to Mayo Hospital a couple of months in the past as a result of I’m within the fallacious wheelchair, and it’s inflicting my day by day excruciating sciatic nerve ache. The Mayo physician mentioned I wanted a sure wheelchair, and the FBOP bodily therapist who got here with me instructed them proper there on the spot “We don’t have funds for that”. They received’t even let me use my VA insurance coverage to get what I would like. This ache is so excruciating, it looks like once I misplaced my limbs in Iraq. To this present day, they haven’t executed something besides get me a unique wheelchair cushion.
I haven’t had a correct bathe in over a 12 months since I arrived, I exploit child wipes. That is additionally as a result of they don’t have the suitable bathe accessibility for a triple amputee. That is unacceptable!
They haven’t given me the correct meds for my ache; they mentioned it’s towards their coverage, in order that they feed me extremely addictive Oxys as an alternative, which nonetheless don’t work. Nonetheless, they provide these particular meds to different inmates who’ve drug issues. So that they needed me to lie and say I did have an issue simply to get the proper medicine, which I’m not going to say.
These persons are not in a position to look after me and my inner well being goes to shit. They’re method out of their league. This shouldn’t be a dying sentence on my life, however slowly it’s turning to that!
The official website for the motion to get Kolfage freed is freebriankolfage on Substack.
Arizona Congressman Paul Gosar has been combating for Kolfage’s freedom from day one. Gosar made this assertion to then-Home Majority Chief Nancy Pelosi in 2022.
Beneath is a 2022 drone video I took of the border wall we constructed. Subscribe to my YouTube for exclusive We Build the Wall footage with Kolfage and my newest work on the border.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ljM1xf8IRU
Gosar’s epic speech in protection of Kolfage is a must-read:
Mr. GOSAR: Madam Speaker, I rise as we speak to reveal the shameful therapy of Iraq struggle veteran Brian Kolfage by the U.S. Authorities. Airman Kolfage misplaced three limbs defending our nation within the Iraq struggle. Whereas serving a second tour of obligation in Iraq in 2004, a rocket shell exploded 25 toes from him. Resulting from his tenacity and willpower, he shocked his medical doctors and left Walter Reed after solely 11 months. He earned a Purple Coronary heart and is probably the most wounded airman ever to have survived a struggle within the historical past of our nation.
Brian Kolfage’s service to the nation didn’t finish together with his army valor. Extremely, he ran a non-public group that helped construct 3 miles of border wall alongside the Rio Grande river, a spot the place development is troublesome as a result of nice potential for erosion.
So how do our corrupt elites deal with this hero? They reply like they did to the numerous peaceable protesters on January 6, to the pro-life protesters dealing with over 10 years for attempting to avoid wasting the unborn, or to anybody who disagrees with their globalist, America-last agenda. They persecute them; they make their lives a dwelling hell; they wreck them.
Beneath is a brief video I took of Brian on the high of the wall after we had completed development.
Ending up the primary launch from triple amputee vet, Airman Brian Kolfage, who’s languishing in jail as a result of Democrats hate that he constructed a border wall. That is the hassle to free him.

Rep. Gosar’s speech continued:
As our ruling elites weren’t blissful that the unlawful hordes couldn’t proceed to stream throughout the border, they activated their deep-state equipment and despatched their secret police to arrest Airman Kolfage.
Fifteen Federal legislation enforcement goons dragged him out of his home with no wheelchair, subjecting him to utter humiliation and ache in entrance of his household. No thought by any means was given to his disabled standing. And in jail, the VA refused him ache medicines, with out which he suffers insufferable ache.
Mr. Kolfage had labored tirelessly, 12 hours a day, for a number of years to get this 3-mile part of wall constructed. He ran and operated the group that received it executed.
For taking a wage, the Federal Authorities arrested him, saying he had no proper to receives a commission something as a result of his web site mentioned any cash raised would go to construct the wall. In my opinion, he was a part of getting the wall constructed. There was nothing fallacious with him getting a wage and saying the cash can be used to construct the wall. With out him, it could not have been full, and no actual American would object to a person getting paid to dedicate himself to a selfless venture like this one and succeeding.
Airman Kolfage was simply intimidated into taking a plea deal by our third-world, kangaroo-court judicial system. This veteran and activist ought to be celebrated as a hero in so some ways. As an alternative, he’ll rot in a Federal jail. A larger injustice is difficult to think about. To his spouse, Ashley, and two kids, my coronary heart goes out to them. I’m praying for all of them. Please know that I’ll proceed to battle towards the injustice executed to her husband.
Rep. Gosar posted this on X in 2023:
“Brian Kolfage is a hero and ought to be celebrated as one. As an alternative, he’ll rot in federal jail. We are going to always remember what they’ve executed to him.”

As you’ll be able to see, what is occurring to this hero is sickening, and can’t stand. I shall be organizing a motion to get Kolfage free of jail. It is going to most probably be in the identical vein because the rallies at Mexican consulates I organized to get fight Marine vet, Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi, free of the Mexican jail after he was arrested for unintentionally crossing the border with a firearm.
If anybody wish to get in contact with Kolfage, you’ll be able to write him in jail. Don’t disparage jail employees when writing. It was James C. Wills, the Assistant Director of the Workplace of Common Counsel (OGC) and the Bureau of Prisons’ Common Counsel who denied Kolfage’s compassionate launch.
In case you reach out to the Bureau of Prisons, please be well mannered and factual in order to not damage Brian’s case.
