The Department of Justice is rolling back President Joe Biden’s aggressive prosecution of the FACE Act, saying his administration weaponized the law against pro-life protesters.
A new memo from President Donald Trump’s DOJ says that the department will only prosecute the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act in cases of extreme violence. Under Biden, FACE was successfully paired with a felony conspiracy charge to lock up nearly a dozen peaceful pro-life protesters.
“President Trump campaigned on the promise of ending the weaponization of the federal government and has recently directed all federal departments and agencies to identify and correct the past weaponization of law enforcement,” the memo from DOJ Chief of Staff Chad Mizelle said.
