Murrieta, CA – Garrett Ziegler, the defendant in a lawsuit filed by President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, has retained Tyler Law LLP and Advocates for Faith and Freedom to represent him against the claims made by Biden.
Biden’s lawsuit claims that Ziegler, founder of the nonprofit research and investigative group Marco Polo, illegally published sensitive information obtained from Hunter Biden’s laptop. The suit alleges that the information obtained by Ziegler was unlawfully obtained despite the fact that numerous copies of the laptop have been widely distributed to the media nationwide.
“Our client is being targeted by powerful elitists for his pivotal research and reporting that has helped Congress and hundreds of honest journalists come to an understanding of the Biden relationships and foreign compromise,” said Attorney Robert Tyler of Tyler Law LLP and Advocates for Faith and Freedom.
“This is nothing more than an attempt to scare and intimidate authors,” said Mariah Gondeiro of Advocates for Faith and Freedom. “By taking on this case, we are standing up for the First Amendment rights of all Americans concerned with judicial integrity and government transparency.”
“The American people deserve to know the truth,” said Garrett Ziegler. “They’re not just coming after me—they’re coming after investigative journalists and other writers from coast to coast who are delivering truthful information to the American people. I am hopeful the courts will not succumb to the political pressures and protect our First Amendment rights.”

Help Us Bring Religious Exemptions Back
On this Giving Tuesday, please consider donating to our lawsuit to bring religious exemptions back for our kids. In 2015, California’s governor signed SB277, a bill that removed religious exemptions within the state regardless of their personal or religious beliefs. This legislation placed California families in a challenging predicament, as they were now required to make a choice between adhering to the state’s “one-size-fits-all” injection mandate or forfeiting their children’s access to preschool or K-12 classroom education.
We are challenging this bill, seeking a religious objection for those with sincerely held beliefs. California may ultimately defer to the government, requiring the matter to go to the Supreme Court. We need your support to raise $300k to initiate this costly legal battle. Please consider donating, spreading the word, and keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for your support!
Press Release | An African-American Pastor Was Removed from a Board on Police and Community Relations Because of His Religious Beliefs
ADVOCATES FOR FAITH & FREEDOM
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Wednesday, November 8, 2023

Murrieta, CA – Today, a lawsuit was filed by Advocates for Faith and Freedom on behalf of Pastor Dennis Hodges, who was removed from an advisory board on police and community relations in San Diego County because of his deeply held religious convictions. This lawsuit alleges the Mayor violated Pasto-r Hodges’s First Amendment Rights by removing him from the commission because of his religious beliefs.
Mr. Hodges was appointed to the advisory board because of his law enforcement experience and African-American heritage. Mr. Hodges has dedicated his life to public service and served as a bridge between law enforcement and the community. The Mayor’s removal of Mr. Hodges was not based on his credentials but on his beliefs on human creation and transgenderism – issues that are unrelated to his role on the advisory board.
“People of faith should never be discriminated against because of their convictions,” said Mariah Gondeiro, Vice President and legal counsel for Advocates for Faith and Freedom. “Pastor Hodges’s removal from this Commission sets a dangerous precedent for the prejudicial hiring and firing practices of government boards. It is unacceptable that individuals of faith are being explicitly forbidden from serving in government simply because of their faith. The Mayor of San Diego must be held accountable for his unconstitutional actions.”
“I have dedicated my life to service,” said Pastor Dennis Hodges. “I am standing up for religious people nationwide who have been discriminated against solely because of their faith. What happened to me at the hands of our government should never happen to anyone else.”
