A damning Justice Department report reveals the Biden administration’s DOJ collaborated with abortion-rights groups to surveil pro-life Americans and systematically withheld evidence in federal trials, exposing a shocking abuse of power that violated constitutional rights.
Biden DOJ’s Coordinated Targeting of Pro-Life Americans
The Justice Department’s Weaponization Working Group released a nearly 900-page report Tuesday detailing systematic bias against pro-life activists under the Biden administration. Internal DOJ records show prosecutors collaborated with Planned Parenthood Federation of America and other abortion-rights organizations, providing real-time intelligence on conservative protests and demonstrations. The National Task Force on Violence Against Reproductive Health Care Providers, led by Sanjay Patel, monitored pro-life activities and coordinated enforcement actions with abortion advocacy groups. This cozy relationship extended to assisting these organizations with grant applications, effectively using taxpayer resources to fund political allies while prosecuting their opponents.
Evidence Suppression and Discriminatory Prosecution Practices
Federal prosecutors systematically withheld exculpatory evidence that could have aided defendants’ cases, according to the report’s findings. Prosecutors screened potential jurors for religious affiliation, targeting those with pro-life beliefs for exclusion from jury pools. The sentencing disparities reveal stark discrimination: pro-life defendants under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act received average sentences of 26.8 months, while pro-choice offenders received just 12.3 months for similar violations. High-profile cases like Mark Houck’s 2022 arrest demonstrated the heavy-handed tactics employed, with FBI agents conducting SWAT-style raids on peaceful activists. These prosecutions followed the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade in 2022, suggesting political motivation rather than legitimate law enforcement concerns.
Constitutional Rights Under Attack Through Selective Enforcement
The Biden DOJ’s weaponization of the FACE Act represents a direct assault on First Amendment rights to religious expression and peaceful protest. While aggressively prosecuting dozens of pro-life activists for blocking clinic access, the department pursued minimal cases against pro-choice defendants who intimidated pregnancy centers or vandalized pro-life facilities. This two-tiered justice system violated Americans’ constitutional protections by criminalizing conservative viewpoints while ignoring violence from the left. The selective enforcement pattern undermines equal protection under the law, a cornerstone principle conservatives recognize as essential to constitutional governance. Federal law enforcement’s transformation into an ideological enforcement arm erodes public trust and sets dangerous precedents for government overreach against citizens exercising their rights.
Trump Administration Restores Justice Department Integrity
President Trump pardoned numerous FACE Act defendants convicted under the politicized Biden-era prosecutions in early 2025, recognizing the injustice they suffered. The DOJ dismissed remaining pro-life cases and halted new investigations targeting conservative activists. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche declared that selective prosecution based on political beliefs will not continue under this administration’s watch. The firing of four officials including task force head Sanjay Patel sends a clear message about accountability for weaponizing federal law enforcement. This represents the first major output from the Weaponization Working Group established under former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s leadership to root out political bias within the Justice Department and restore impartial enforcement of federal law.

The report’s findings validate long-standing conservative concerns about a politicized federal bureaucracy targeting Americans for their deeply held beliefs. While the Biden administration claimed it prosecuted physical blockades rather than peaceful prayer, the evidence reveals systematic discrimination that cannot be justified by legitimate law enforcement objectives. The chilling effect on religious liberty and free speech rights demands continued vigilance as the Trump administration works to restore constitutional principles. This scandal reinforces why Americans elected President Trump to drain the swamp and end the weaponization of government against ordinary citizens exercising their God-given rights.
