Biden DOJ accused of using law to target anti-abortion activists nationwide

The US Department of Justice has confirmed that at least four prosecutors involved in cases related to the FACE Act were terminated during the Biden administration. The FACE Act, which was enacted in 2020, aims to prevent violence against reproductive health care providers.

According to reports, the DOJ fired the attorneys who prosecuted anti-abortion activists under the FACE Act. The actions were reportedly taken by the department’s leadership, although no specific reasons for the terminations have been disclosed.

The news comes amid controversy surrounding the prosecution of anti-abortion activists. Critics argue that the FACE Act has been used to target individuals who express dissenting views on abortion, while supporters claim it is necessary to protect reproductive health care providers from violence.

In a statement, the DOJ confirmed that the prosecutors in question were let go, but did not provide further details. The department’s actions have sparked debate about the role of law enforcement in enforcing the FACE Act and protecting free speech.

The news has also been reported by other outlets, including NPR, The New York Times, CBS News, Just Security, and MS NOW.
