Pregnant Polish Mother Convicted and Fined for Speaking Out Against Mass Immigration — Court Rejected Prosecution’s “Biased” Expert Report but Found Her Guilty Anyway

Oliwia Olejniczak (Provided to The Gateway Pundit)

A 21-year-old university student, young mother, and pregnant woman has been convicted in Poland for the “crime” of speaking the truth about mass immigration.

On July 16, 2026, the District Court in Zamość found Oliwia Olejniczak guilty of “inciting hatred” and slapped her with a 3,000 PLN fine (roughly $800–$1,000) for remarks she made at a completely legal and peaceful “Stop Immigration” rally on July 19, 2025. She was pregnant with her second child at the time of the verdict.

Her husband, Adam Olejniczak, reached out to The Gateway Pundit with the details of this outrageous free-speech persecution under Donald Tusk’s left-liberal government.

Oliwia, a top physiotherapy student and mother of a one-year-old, took the stage in Zamość, one of roughly a hundred similar demonstrations held across Poland that day, and voiced the fears shared by countless ordinary Poles.

She spoke about the real risks of uncontrolled mass immigration from incompatible cultures: rising crime, violence, and rape already plaguing Western Europe.

Adam Olejniczak wrote to The Gateway Pundit:

“My wife, Oliwia Olejniczak, a 21-year-old university student, young mother, and (at the time of the verdict) pregnant with our second child, was recently convicted and fined ~3,500 PLN (around $1000) simply for speaking out against mass immigration.

On 19 July 2025 she took the stage at a peaceful, legal “Stop Immigration” rally in Zamość — one of roughly a hundred such demonstrations held across Poland that same day. Two days later an investigation was opened. On 16 July 2026 the District Court in Zamość found her guilty of “inciting hatred” and imposed the fine.

Notably, the case was not handled by the local prosecutor’s office in Zamość. Instead it was immediately taken up by the other District Prosecutor’s Office, an office roughly an hour away that is widely known for its ideologically leftist leanings.

They launched proceedings against Oliwia with extraordinary speed. In the Polish justice system such rapid action almost never happens unless the target is someone who has criticized the current left-liberal government.

During her speech she voiced legitimate fears for her own safety and that of our young child. She warned that uncontrolled mass immigration of people from incompatible cultures would bring the same rise in crime, violence and rape already visible in Western Europe.

She said the words “That could have been me, that could have been you,” directly referencing a horrific crime that had occurred only weeks earlier in Toruń: a 24-year-old Polish woman from her home region was brutally murdered by an illegal Venezuelan national who gouged out her eyes so she could not identify him and then killed her.

This fear was not abstract. Not long before the rally, Oliwia had already taken part in protests in our region against the opening of special centers for migrants.

Across Poland, dozens of such facilities were being established where illegal immigrants — many of whom had crossed the eastern border illegally — were to receive assistance and even help legalizing their stay. These centers were part of a broader policy that many ordinary Poles, including my wife, saw as a direct threat to public safety.

Among the emotional lines she spoke were:
“I am a mother, I am a Pole. I am afraid for the future of my child. I am simply afraid that some Black man will come when I am out walking with my child and harm us. Do not let Black people and Islamists colonize our beautiful Zamość. Down with immigration!”

After the verdict she stated clearly:
“I am simply a mother who wants her child to be able to walk safely on the streets of a Polish city. I just wanted Poland to remain safe. I don’t want to be afraid of evening walks. I don’t want to be afraid of strangers on the street. At the rally many statistics were presented from Western European countries where mass immigration, especially from Africa and Islamic countries, has brought a rise in crime — these are facts, not racism.”

There was no call to violence and no incitement to hatred — only a mother’s public warning about real risks. Yet the court convicted her. In its reasoning the court even treated slogans such as “A Pole is the host in Poland,” “That could have been me,” or “Down with immigration” as racism, incitement to hatred, and psychological manipulation intended to frighten people. This is absurd.

Official statistics from Western Europe clearly show that certain groups of immigrants commit far more crimes per capita than the native population. Pointing out these facts is not hatred — it is reality.

The double standard is glaring: while my wife was swiftly investigated and punished for her words, the Venezuelan murderer still has not received a final sentence more than a year later.

The court imposed this financial penalty knowing our circumstances. We are both full-time physiotherapy students at the university, raising a small child and relying on academic scholarships.

My wife is currently the top physiotherapy student at the entire university; I am second. We work hard because we want to help people through our future profession.

Last year my wife was one of the main organizers of a large charity event that helped a hundred children from orphanages in our region. She also organized the local March for Life and Family. She is a person with an angelic heart — yet the court treated her as if she were some kind of beast inciting hatred.

In addition to the 3,000 PLN fine, the prosecution had demanded 10 months of restriction of liberty for my pregnant wife! This demand alone is an unimaginable absurdity. They also commissioned a linguistic expert opinion that cost approximately 5,000 PLN (about $1,300).

That expert produced an extremely left-wing, politicized report that went far beyond linguistics and even urged the authorities to punish such statements harshly so Poland would not become “anti-democratic, dangerous and backward.”

The court itself completely rejected this opinion as incomplete, non-objective and biased — so we were spared being burdened with those extra thousands of zlotys. Despite discarding the expert’s report, however, the court still adopted essentially the same narrative that the far-left expert had pushed.

Altogether we were looking at a potential cost of around 8,000 PLN (roughly $2,100) plus the threat of 10 months of restricted freedom.

The conviction has no legal foundation under Polish free-speech protections or the European Convention on Human Rights. Ordo Iuris, the respected Christian-conservative legal institute that defends civil liberties, is representing Oliwia and has already announced an appeal demanding full acquittal.

Since the case became public, the harassment has intensified. My wife, myself, and even our young child have become targets of online insults. There have been isolated but very real threats coming from leftist, including some who live in our own city.

Poland was long regarded as one of the most resistant countries in Europe to the woke agenda. Under the current liberal government that resistance is being systematically dismantled.

Citizens who dare to warn about the dangers of mass immigration are now being prosecuted while real violent criminals face far slower justice.”

This is not isolated. It is the same pattern of speech policing and elite double standards we have documented across Europe and increasingly in the United States.

A young Polish mother is punished for protecting her children. The actual killers and the politicians importing the chaos face far less urgency. Free speech is under attack in Poland just as it is elsewhere. The voice of a young mother should never be treated as a crime.

Sen. Jim Banks Becomes THIRD Republican Senator to Demand Senate CANCEL August Recess Until SAVE America Act Passes

Sen. Jim Banks Becomes THIRD Republican Senator to Demand Senate CANCEL August Recess Until SAVE America Act Passes

The pressure is mounting on RINO Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the do-nothing Republican establishment.

Senator Jim Banks (R-IN) has become the third Republican senator to publicly oppose the upcoming August recess until the Senate passes President Trump’s SAVE America Act.

Tomi Lahren:
There’s a lot of frustration, Senator, with you and your fellow senators, quite frankly. Republicans are frustrated that their Republican senators aren’t able to get voter ID, proof of citizenship, and some of the other parts of the SAVE America Act across the finish line. I want you to shoot it very straight with us: Is there a chance—is there a snowball’s chance in hell—that we get the SAVE America Act, in any iteration, through the Senate and to the president?

Sen. Jim Banks:
Well, this is the fifth time the House has passed the SAVE America Act. I’m frustrated, too. The Senate should abandon the so-called traditions and the filibuster rules—nuke the filibuster and do whatever it takes to pass the SAVE America Act. I think the NDAA and the upcoming reconciliation package that the House is going to send over to the Senate are the best opportunities that we have to pass the SAVE America Act, requiring voter ID.

The NDAA is very important for our troops and our military. By the way, Democrats are blocking funding for our military at a time when we need to replenish our munitions stockpiles and support our military. So, that’s the perfect bill to put the SAVE America Act in. The Democrats are all against it. They don’t want to support our military, and the Democrats don’t want voter ID.

So, let’s put every Republican on the record in support of it, pass it, save this country, and head into the midterms with the best hand that we have to keep the majorities in the House and the Senate. I fear what will happen if we don’t pass the SAVE America Act on Election Day in the midterm elections.

Tomi Lahren:
Yeah, I have the same fear. Senator, do you think that you should forgo the upcoming recess to get this done?

Sen. Jim Banks:
I’m all for it. We don’t need a recess. Let’s pass the SAVE America Act. It’s more important than taking a break or taking a recess.

I’m back in Indiana for the weekend. I head back to Washington tomorrow. I’ve heard from people everywhere I go, from the diner this morning to the grocery store: “Pass the SAVE America Act.” We have to get it done. It’s so fundamental to the future of this country to make sure that American elections are only for Americans.

By the way, the biggest story this week was the Democrat governor in New Jersey admitting that 6,600 illegals were accidentally registered to vote and that hundreds of them actually voted in the last two elections in New Jersey. If that can happen there, and even a Democrat is admitting it, it’s yet the biggest reason and example of why we have to pass the SAVE America Act.

WATCH:

Banks joins Senators Rick Scott (R-FL) and Mike Lee (R-UT), who have already demanded that lawmakers remain in Washington and finish the job they were elected to do.

Lee fired the first shot earlier Sunday, formally objecting to any effort to put the Senate into recess in August “at least until such time as the Senate has passed the SAVE America Act” and demanding a roll call vote. “Do not assume you have my consent. You do not,” Lee warned Majority Leader John Thune.

Scott quickly backed him: “I stand with @BasedMikeLee. I will vote to stay in session unless we have passed the SAVE America Act. The American people expect us to deliver. They deserve secure elections.”

The House passed the legislation in February by a 218–213 vote. The Senate later voted 51–48 to begin considering it, but the measure stalled after Republicans failed to secure the 60 votes needed to overcome the chamber’s filibuster rules.

When previously asked whether he would keep the Senate in session, Thune claimed he would consider it if he believed there were a path to passage but insisted that Democrats would continue blocking the bill and Republicans would not eliminate the legislative filibuster.

President Trump is also losing patience with the slow-moving Senate.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt recently confirmed that Trump wants the legislation passed before lawmakers flee Washington for their lengthy summer break.

“The president spoke about this directly yesterday. His patience is running out,” Leavitt said, according to previous Gateway Pundit reporting.

The House has repeatedly acted to advance the SAVE America Act. Now it is time for Senate Republicans to stop hiding behind procedure, cancel their recess, and force every senator to go on the record.

Banks, Scott, and Lee understand what is at stake.

No SAVE America Act, no August recess.

Listen: As Islamists Slaughter Christians, Democrat Candidate Warns Christians Feel ‘Very Threatening’ to Her – She’s a Christian Minister

Listen: As Islamists Slaughter Christians, Democrat Candidate Warns Christians Feel ‘Very Threatening’ to Her – She’s a Christian Minister
July 26, 2026

In almost all of the world, in multi-religious societies, we all know who is getting threatened by who.

Just look at Nigeria, for instance. If you’re a Christian, or even a secularist, you know full well who is threatening you, and it’s generally people of one certain faith.

But in America, if you’re significantly shielded enough — at least if you’re not one of the people in one of two twin towers some 25 years ago — you can believe that the real threat is from Christians.

In that vein, meet Sarah Trone Garriott. She’s a member of the Iowa Senate who’s running as the Democratic nominee in the state’s 3rd Congressional District.

She’s also, like another prominent Democrat we see trying to flip a congressional seat, a nominal Christian figure. Instead of “Presbyterian seminarian,” however, this time she’s a Lutheran minister.

It’s something the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee touted when they started spending money on her campaign to oust Rep. Zach Nunn, a Republican.

“Sarah Trone Garriott has spent her life showing up for her community, and now she’s running for Congress to continue that service: standing up to protect health care, get costs down, and always do what’s right for Iowa,” DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene said back in February, according to the Des Moines Register.

“A mom and a minister, Sarah is in this fight for Iowa families like her own, and she will win this race and work to make life more affordable for the hardworking families Zach Nunn has forgotten.”

Ah, yes, a minister. Who’s, um, afraid of Christians, as one unearthed clip demonstrates.

“We have seen some uncomfortable ways that faith and political power have collided,” Trone Garriott said at a 2023 event before the Iowa United Methodist Church Board of Laity.

“Um, you know, seeing the flag and the cross conflated. We have seen religious actors supporting specific political candidates, even when those candidates might not seem to match the values of that professed religious faith, there is this very strong allegiance to specific candidates,” she continued.

Yeah, gosh, wonder who she might be talking about. Anyway, I can’t imagine how Christians wouldn’t support the party of abortion on demand and “gender-affirming care” for children simply because they get a minister to run.

“That confuses us, and makes us wonder what on earth is going on,” she continued. “And we have seen religion and political violence showing up more and more in our public spaces.”

“It’s something that is just very in our faces and something that we are very concerned about, and something that feels very threatening.”

Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, here’s what the statistics look more like:

And this is an ongoing problem. In Nigeria, for example, thousands of Christians are killed every year and tens of thousands have been slaughtered in total by Islamic populations and terror organizations. The country, Global Christian Relief noted, “has emerged as a global epicenter for the martyrdom of Christians.”

If she thinks she’s protected because she’s in the First World, she should reconsider, particularly if she’s going to tell a joke. For instance, here’s British comedian Jimmy Carr succinctly explaining why he can make fun of Christians — and, indeed, other faiths — but not one particular faith:

But yes, please: Do tell us how you’re “threatened” by your own fellow Christians. Or at the very least, don’t call yourself a “minister.”

You may have the credentials, Sarah Trone Garriott, but you’re in another world of delusion and deception, one that is decidedly anti-Christian. You can’t fathom how sheltered you are by our bedrock values, and it shows.

BREAKING: Acting DNI Pulte Fires More Deep State Intel Officials

BREAKING: Acting DNI Pulte Fires More Deep State Intel Officials
July 26, 2026

Professional headshot of a smiling man in a blue suit with a striped tie, set against a background of American flags.

Acting DNI Bill Pulte on Sunday evening announced that he fired more Deep State intel officials.

This is Pulte’s fourth round of firings.

“Since becoming Acting Director of National Intelligence, our team has been smartly, and carefully, reducing the size of ODNI, re-focusing ODNI on national security, the law, and the statute,” Pulte said.

“As of this evening, we just finished a 4th round of thoughtful, measured layoffs. Thank you!” Pulte said on X.

Last month Bill Pulte fired over 50 career Deep State intel officials so far.

“The Deep State firings have begun,” a source told CNN last month.

CBS News previously reported that Pulte fired six political intelligence staffers and sent 45 others to their home agencies.

CNN reported that Pulte fired six political appointees chosen by Tulsi Gabbard.

“Today, I spent time with the National Counterterrorism Center team, who is doing an incredible job protecting our Country under President Trump’s leadership. The room was filled with true professionals and American patriots. It is a privilege to work beside them,” Pulte said last month.

MS NOW reported that Pulte fired more Deep State Intel officials earlier this month.

President Trump previously announced his nomination of US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton to serve as Director of National Intelligence.

However, Trump postponed Clayton’s confirmation until the Senators confirm his replacement for US Attorney for the Southern District of New York.

The delay in Clayton’s confirmation has allowed Pulte to carry out the mass firings.
