The Story
Torben and his family came to the US and applied for asylum in early 2019 because of religious persecution in Denmark, their home country.
On June 30, 2022, Torben was asked to attend an interview with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to “discuss his immigration status” in Orlando. He traveled to Florida from California to attend the interview, but shockingly, he was detained instead of being interviewed.
During the 412 days he spent in jail, he faced various unfounded accusations like weapons smuggling, human trafficking, tax fraud, and other outrageous claims. However, he was never charged with any of these offenses. Instead, he was labeled as a ‘national threat’.
Congressman Clay Higgins
“Torben has been persecuted by this administration and targeted, we believe because he’s an evangelical Christian minister.”
A documentary series has been produced, revealing the persecution of Torben, uncovering the truth behind it all, and identifying those responsible.
Revealing series
Framing by TV Program
The first episode shows how Torben cooperated with a television program. However, the creators had an agenda. The program misled viewers in Denmark and made them believe Torben was dangerous and should be dealt with. It also influenced politics and advocated that casting out demons in certain situations be made punishable.
Undercover journalists
The second episode continues by analyzing the documentary that was broadcast on Danish TV. It demonstrates how the series was not an example of objective journalism but rather a smear campaign. They attempted to make it seem as though Torben was involved in quackery and dishonest with finances.
The persecutors
In this episode, our attention turns toward two specific individuals who have emerged as significant adversaries to Torben and his ministry. Their actions involve coordinating a campaign against Torben and his work both in Denmark and the United States.
