Pro-Life Protester Targeted Under Biden Gets Settlement with Trump Justice Department
Vaughn said the deal follows a lawsuit over his prosecution and a gunpoint raid that left his family with lasting anxiety.
- On Tuesday, The Justice Department reached a seven-figure settlement with Tennessee-based activist Paul Vaughn, resolving his lawsuit over his prosecution under the FACE Act during the Biden DOJ.
- Prosecutors charged Vaughn after a March 2021 blockade at a Nashville-area abortion clinic, and FBI agents arrested the father of 11 at his Tennessee home, fueling criticism that the Biden-era DOJ weaponized the FACE Act.
- President Donald Trump pardoned Vaughn last year while his case was on appeal, and Vaughn stated the settlement provides "an acknowledgment of wrong" for his family's "traumatic ordeal that never should have happened."
- This agreement follows a similar seven-figure settlement between the Trump DOJ and Mark Houck over his 2022 arrest in Pennsylvania, signaling a pattern in how the current administration resolves FACE Act claims.
- After taking office, the Trump DOJ issued new guidance limiting abortion-related FACE Act prosecutions, though the agency continues pursuing a 39-defendant case involving protesters at Cities Church in Minnesota.
