On the Agenda: Heritage launched a multipronged campaign to hold Communist China to account during the Winter Olympics for its ongoing crimes against humanity. We also explain why the Biden administration’s midnight flights for illegal immigrants cross a dangerous new line in the border crisis. And we bust five big myths about critical race theory. There are events, podcasts, and more in this week’s Agenda.


Turning Up the Heat on the Chinese Communist Party

Shining the light: While Beijing is hosting the Winter Olympics, Heritage is taking a no-holds-barred approach to shining a very public light on the Chinese Communist Party’s crimes and abuses.

Standing up: “That the 2022 Winter Olympics will go on in Beijing shows that our elites are simply afraid to stand up to the CCP, for fear of losing money and influence,” says Heritage President Kevin Roberts.

Calling China out: As part of Heritage’s campaign, we will, among other things, run ads during the Olympics on digital platforms like Fox News Go about the CCP’s destructive behavior and the existential threat it poses to America.

Biden Administration Charters Midnight Flights for Illegal Aliens

In the news: Instead of deporting young adult males who cross the border illegally, the Biden administration is flying them around the country in the dead of night.

The proof: Video evidence released by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

Lies upon lies: The Biden administration lied about the secretive flights when confronted by a reporter—another in a growing list of lies to cover up the border crisis and its role in creating it.

Why it matters: “Releasing single adult males is a game-ender for trying to enforce immigration law,” writes Senior Research Fellow Lora Ries and Visiting Fellow Mark Morgan. “Releasing this population means all demographics of illegal immigrants are now being released—whether single or a family, young or old.”

5 Myths of Critical Race Theory—Busted

The issue: Leftist proponents of critical race theory (CRT) have been on the warpath in the U.S. for the past few years, injecting their racist ideology into everything from schools and businesses to our military.

The backlash: Each time Americans publicly object to CRT, they’re met with a barrage of rebuttals, ranging from the claim that CRT isn’t actually taught in schools or that it is just a way to bring minority voices to the forefront.

The truth: A new video from Heritage lays these arguments to rest. It identifies five of the most common myths about CRT and explains how and why they are false.
