Biden DOJ weaponized FACE Act to imprison pro-life activists, attorney tells House: 'Systematic campaign'

A pro-life attorney alleged during a House hearing that the Biden administration's Department of Justice (DOJ) led a "systematic campaign" against pro-life protesters who were charged with violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act and sentenced to several years in prison in 2020.

The hearing, titled, "Entering the Golden Age: Ending the Weaponization of the Justice Department," included testimonies from Chris Swecker, former FBI assistant director of the Criminal Investigations Unit, Jonathan Fahey, a legal partner at Holtzman Vogel, and Brendan Ballou, a federal prosecutor.

The Thomas More Society represented several of the 23 pro-life activists who were imprisoned during the 2020 demonstrations and urged Trump during his first few days in office to pardon them.

Breen said the Trump administration's pardons sent a "powerful message." 

Fox News Digital has reached out to the DOJ for comment.
