"The report states that the Justice Department under former President Joe Biden used the FACE ACT to launch biased prosecutions and lawsuits against conservatives and Christians who protested abortion."
"Federal prosecutors pursued more severe charges and significantly harsher sentences for anti-abortion rights defendants compared to 'violent pro-abortion defendants,' the report says."
"Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated, 'This Department will not tolerate a two-tiered system of justice,' emphasizing the need to restore integrity to the prosecutorial system."
The Justice Department released a report alleging that the Biden administration misapplied the FACE Act to prosecute Christians opposing abortion. This report, from the Weaponization Working Group, indicates that the DOJ pursued harsher penalties for anti-abortion activists compared to pro-abortion individuals. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche emphasized the need for a fair justice system, rejecting selective prosecution based on beliefs. The report marks the group's first significant outcome since its formation under the Trump administration, amid ongoing scrutiny of the DOJ's actions against political opponents.
