Justice Department to cut back prosecution of abortion clinic protest cases
- The Justice Department under President Donald Trump is reducing prosecutions for blocking access to abortion clinics, labeling them as examples of the 'weaponization' of law enforcement.
- New guidelines allow prosecutions under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act only in 'extraordinary circumstances' as stated by Attorney General Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle.
- Three cases related to 2021 blockades in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Ohio were ordered dismissed by Mizelle, signaling a shift from the previous administration's approach.
- The legal group Thomas More Society praised the decision as a 'huge moment' in the fight against the FACE Act, while abortion-rights advocates criticized the pardons of anti-abortion activists.
