My son is being held in Washington DC for Jan 6th Rally. We were their to express our voice that day on election integrity . He was arrested May 27th and is being held with no release. He is a veteran of the Marine Corp and joined after 911 to fight for his country. While he was serving his country he and two other Marines were hit by a IED while on patrol.  He would downplay his injuries until he finished his tour over there and back home. The transition was not easy getting out on Honorable discharge for medical after his enlistment of only 4 years because he wanted so bad to stay in and be there with his buddies. James's loves his country, He is a 3rd generation Marine. His Grandfather and his Father were also Marines. James's was brought up to Love and Fear God. He is a father of one son and helps take care of an Old Mom. James needs medical treatment also that may require surgery. WE NEED JAMES HOME. This givesendgo has been set up to help with legal fees, commissary, phone calls and other responsibilities James has with no income because of incarceration.  We greatly appreciated all the support everyone has shown and there is still a Great America. God Bless and Thank You

          2023 Resurrection Day FellowshipAmerican Patriots, Friends and Family's. This years Easter Fellowship was filled with Joy, Grace, Brotherly Love and a Bounty of Good food.Easter weekend and its True meaning of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is my favorite time of year. It reminds me of all the special memories I have of home and all those great times spent with family and friend's. Why should this years Easter be any different?So here's the Story of a J'6 Resurrection Day.Every Holiday here in the Gulag. Since I have been here (May of 2021), has been a family gathering and experience. So in my family I only know one way to pull that off. You invite everyone over, pull a bunch of tables together, you fill the day with cooking and good food, you Pray together, tell a bunch of stories, laugh together, and probably share tears of Joy.This years Resurrection Day was extra special because we had some new faces to experience for the first time the Holiday's amongst their New Found J'6 Family here in the DC-Gulag. Like all family Holidays it was filed with Laughter, Tears, and Thanks and maybe a squabble or two, but hey that's family right. Just kidding, or am I. LOL. This years Menu:3 Full length Outdoor plastic tables pulled together opened up for grub and snacks at 12pm. Filled with Desert's that even Biden could blend up an slurp, also he would have loved the Welfare State Nachos.Desert's: Honeybun and Banana Cannoli Dough was made from Honeybun's, Milk, and Sugar. The Custard was blended Banana, Vanilla shakes, and Honey. Strawberry Filled Pastry Dough LogDough made from assortment of Canteen Pastries. Rolled out. Filled with Crunched up Strawberry Pop Tarts. Rolled up into a log. Dusted and rolled in Chocolate Chip Cookie Dust.Welfare Nachos:Assortment of Chips, Meat, Cheese sauce, Beans an RiceCheese sauce includes: Jalapeño Cheese, Velveeta Cheese, Jalapeño Cream Cheese, and Cheddar CheeseBeans and Rice includes: Black Beans, Spanish Rice, Yellow Rice, White Rice, Brown Rice, Turkey Sausage, And Beef and Chicken SausageBowl's of Corn.The Nacho and Dessert Table stayed open until everyone was about to bust and then the Evening meal was ready. This was 5:30pm.Evening meal Menu:Spaghetti Extravaganza and Chicken Bacon RanchTwo types of Spaghetti included: Cheesy Meaty Sauce and Garlic Marinara Chicken Bacon Ranch included: Pasta, Ranch, Cream Cheese, Fried Vienna Weiner's, and Baked Crushed Pepperoni These meals and Snacks would keep 27 Grown men Fat and Happy for the entire day. This was all cooked inside one industrial microwave. No easy task, but well worth the Joy you can visual see in the men you serve.All this could not have been accomplished without the help of My really good friend and Kitchen Chef and Manager Peter Stager.The Prayer for the meal was conducted by Shane Jenkins, inspired by a truly divine Spirit.Yours Truly James McGrew

Great Patriots of America, I want to personally Thank you all for your participation in providing Spiritual and Financial support to this GiveSendGo fundraising campaign.

I am writing this letter as an update to my current Status as a January 6th Prisoner. I have since been sentenced to 78 months in B.O.P. custody. I also want to give accountability for where your support is helping.

Your Contributions have provided for Lawyer’s fees, Forensic audits of Military Medical records (of which a lengthy comprehensive report was provided to the Court), Court fines that were acceded at sentencing, Commissary accounts and Phone calls with Family, Travel for Family to court hearing, and so much more.

This past year as part of Operation Christmas for Freedom, some funds have been paid forward providing incarcerated J6ers and their families a Christmas gift during some of the hardest times in their life.

 However, my journey is not yet over, I will be going to a Federal Prison and will be grateful for your continued prayers and support.                             

My Heart is set on the Day when Walls of Persecution and Tyranny in the United States of America are Torn down and Justice for all rings on the Steps of our Nations Capitol’s. I will continue to express Love and tell everyone “I am as free today, as I have ever been”.

God Bless you all and Thank you for your Continued Support.

21-cr-0398:  USA v. MCGREW

Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell

09:30AM

Telephonic/VTC

Motion Hearing


The Defendant motions for release on medical grounds. He is in pretrial detention at DC Jail. His mother asks that her son be treated at a VA Facility in Bulixi, MS.

Judge is conflicted because sentencing is scheduled and she doesn’t believe that the Defendant would get better medical help than in DC.


Defense says the an MRI was taken and now he needs to be treated for issues arising in the last few months.

Judge denies the motion.

The Judge wants to know who asked for donations for the Defendant. The government says his mother has a GiveSendGo account for her son because he is being kept in DC Jail as a political prisoner. His mother has since taken down all of her social media. The Defense says he warned the Defendant about using media to air his grievances. 

The Defendant says he has never said he was innocent.


Sentencing date stands.l


TO LET AMERICAN PATRIOT’S KNOW. JAMES HAS NOT RECEIVED ANY MEDICAL TREATMENT SO FAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND SUPPORT. GOD BLESS

Today we asked for release so James could get correct medical treatment. The request was denied. James’s has accepted a plea deal from the DOJ and has accepted responsibility for his action.  This givesendgo was sent up to help with legal fees, commissary and other responsibilities James has. While incarcerated James has no income. Thank you for your prayers and support. God Bless

As my son approaches his 455 days in DC Gulag nothing has changed. There is still no TRUE JUSTICE being upheld. The House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Shumer and Mayor Browser are responsible for NOT FOLLOWING PROTOCOL with ADEQUATE SECURITY FOR JAN 6TH. THE DC POLICE LET THEM IN AND THEN CORRALLED THEM OUT WITH FORCE. JUSTICE WILL NOT BE SECURE UNTIL THE PEOPLE THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR GENEROUS SUPPORT AND PRAYERS. GOD BLESS AND GOD BLESS AMERICA
