DOJ ‘weaponization’ report accuses Biden administration of biased prosecutions against anti-abortion protesters

The nearly 900-page report says Biden-era prosecutors applied the FACE Act unevenly, and the Justice Department fired at least four lawyers involved in those cases.

  • On Monday, the Justice Department fired at least four federal prosecutors involved in Biden-era Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act cases, citing concerns over selective enforcement against anti-abortion activists.
  • Former Attorney General Pam Bondi established the 'Weaponization Working Group' to investigate whether the Biden administration unfairly used the FACE Act to target anti-abortion activists pursuing a pro-abortion political agenda.
  • The report from DOJ’s Weaponization Working Group alleges the Biden administration pursued 26.8-month average sentences for anti-abortion advocates versus 12.3-month recommendations for pro-abortion defendants, and claims prosecutors knowingly withheld evidence and screened jurors based on religion.
  • Supporters of the report argue these findings prove a "weaponization" of federal law enforcement aimed at silencing conservative voices and religious expression.
  • This report is the first of several expected from the working group, which aims to review all enforcement actions from the last four years, while the department allows remaining FACE Act cases involving abortion rights activists to proceed.
