The Biden Justice department has not been playing well with others.
An anti-abortion father profits from the misdeeds of the Biden administration.
And New York isn’t learning a bloody thing about the Biden administration’s mistakes.
Who’s Weaponizing the Justice Department?
The article argues that the Biden Justice Department closely coordinated with major abortion-rights organizations to monitor, build cases against, and secure harsher penalties for peaceful pro-life activists using the FACE Act, while downplaying attacks on pro-life centers and religious opponents of abortion.
Core claims
- The piece says internal DOJ emails, released in a Trump-era report, show senior Biden DOJ official Sanjay Patel treating an activist at the National Abortion Federation (NAF) as an “MVP” for flagging pro-life protests in real time and connecting her directly with FBI agents to spur FACE Act investigations and prosecutions.
- According to the article, pro-abortion groups such as NAF, Planned Parenthood, and the Feminist Majority Foundation compiled and sent “dossiers” on pro-life activists to DOJ, including home addresses, photos of family members, travel plans, social media posts, associates, and even driver’s license numbers, years before some were charged.
Monitoring and prosecutions
- The report described in the article claims Patel and the DOJ “monitored” certain pro-life families, like Calvin Zastrow’s, for years by tracking their social media and travel and by asking NAF for updates on where they might protest next, before later indicting them under the FACE Act for sit-ins and blockades at clinics in states like Tennessee and Michigan.
- The article emphasizes that many of those prosecuted under Biden were engaged in activities it characterizes as peaceful—praying, singing, and sitting in front of clinic doors—yet some received multi‑year prison sentences, which the Trump DOJ now contrasts with lighter average sentences for pro‑abortion defendants in FACE‑related cases.
Alleged bias and disdain for religion
- The Daily Wire piece highlights language from DOJ attorneys as evidence of hostility toward religious pro‑lifers, including descriptions of Christian pro‑life beliefs as “culty” and an email complaining about drawing a “very Catholic magistrate” who was careful about defendants’ First Amendment rights.
- It further notes that, per the Trump report, Biden‑era task force lawyers were in “constant contact” with abortion clinics and advocacy groups yet had no contact with pro‑life pregnancy centers until months after a surge in vandalism and attacks against those centers following the Dobbs leak.
Relationship with abortion groups
- The article says DOJ officials not only relied on abortion-rights groups for intelligence but also tried to help at least one such group, NAF, obtain private grant funding, with a DOJ lawyer asking ethics officers if they could vouch on DOJ letterhead that NAF was “valuable to our law enforcement efforts.”
- The Trump report, as summarized, criticizes this as a conflict of interest: DOJ lawyers allegedly took an interest in the financial success of entities that were simultaneously shaping the department’s enforcement targets.
Trump administration response
- The article frames the new 800‑page Trump DOJ report as part of a broader effort to “correct” Biden-era weaponization of the FACE Act, pointing to Trump’s early pardons of convicted pro-life activists and a recent seven‑figure settlement with pro‑life leader Mark Houck after his FACE Act prosecution and FBI raid.
- It concludes that, taken together, the emails and report show a DOJ that partnered with abortion activists to pursue religious, pro‑life Americans while giving comparatively less attention to crimes against pregnancy centers and churches.
Justice Has Been Done!
According to Fox News:
A pro-life activist whose 2022 arrest by the FBI under the Biden administration drew national headlines has reached a seven-figure settlement after suing the Justice Department over his arrest and prosecution.
Mark Houck filed a lawsuit against the department in 2023 seeking restitution for what he called “a faulty investigation” and “excessive force” after a SWAT team of around 25 people arrested him in front of his children at his home on Sept. 23, 2022, allegedly with guns drawn.
The shocking details of his arrest spurred criticism from conservatives that the Justice Department under then-President Joe Biden was targeting pro-life activists.
After a three-year legal battle, 40 Days for Life President Shawn Carney announced April 9 that Houck had reached a settlement with the Department of Justice under President Donald Trump and had been awarded more than $1 million.

An Attack on Catholics! I’m Shocked!
According to Fox News:
Catholic nuns who have spent more than a century caring for the dying poor are suing New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, saying a new state law could force them to choose between their faith and their mission or face fines, loss of licensing and even jail time.
“We are consecrated religious Sisters and have one mission,” Mother Marie Edward, O.P., told Fox News Digital in a statement. “It is to provide comfort and skilled care to persons dying of cancer who cannot afford nursing care. We do not take insurance or government funds or money from our patients or families. The care is totally free.”
“We are supported by the goodness of our benefactors,” she continued. “We do this without discriminating on the basis of race, religion, or sex. We do it because Jesus taught us that, when the least among us are sick, we should care for them, as if they were Christ himself.”
Signed into law on Nov. 30, 2023, the “Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, and people living with HIV long-term care facility residents’ bill of rights” bans long-term care facilities and staff “from discriminating against any resident on the basis of a resident’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or HIV status,” according to a press release from Hochul’s office.
The Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, who run Rosary Hill Home in Hawthorne, New York, filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the law they say would require them to assign rooms by gender identity, not biological sex; allow access to opposite-sex bathrooms; allow expression, relationships and identity practices; use preferred pronouns; require staff training in gender ideology; and post a public notice stating compliance with the law.
Edward told Fox News Digital that “New York’s gender ideology mandates not only violate our Catholic values, they threaten our existence with fines, injunctions, license revocation, and even jail time. This is why we were forced to go to court to seek protection of our religious exercise and freedom of speech so that we can continue our ministry to the poor.”
The letters listed New York’s demands and included a training curriculum “requiring the sisters to align patient care and the training of their sisters and employees with the State’s gender ideology.”
If the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne do not comply, they face fines up to $2,000 per violation — rising to $5,000 — court-ordered forced compliance, loss of licensing and up to one year in prison and fines up to $10,000.
In their lawsuit, the sisters highlighted that during the four-year reporting period from Feb. 1, 2022, through Jan. 31, 2026, the New York State Department of Health had received “zero complaints” from Rosary Hill Home residents, compared with “more than 55,000 complaints against other nursing homes,” and an average of 23 citations per facility during the same period.
