FBI SWAT Team Conducts Early-Morning Raid, Arrests Pro-Life Activist At Pennsylvania Home: Report
Daily Wire ^ | 24 Sept 2022 | John Rigolizzo

Posted on 09/25/2022 5:29:34 AM PDT by Erik Latranyi

FBI agents reportedly raided the home of a pro-life activist in Pennsylvania on Friday and arrested him.

A group of between 25 and 30 FBI agents raided the Bucks County, Pennsylvania, home of pro-life activist Mark Houck early Friday morning, his family told LifeSite News. Houck is the leader of a nonprofit group that provides sidewalk counseling at abortion clinics in Philadelphia. The arrest seemed to stem from a court case that was dismissed by a federal court in Philadelphia, but was somehow picked up by the Department of Justice, his family said.

“The kids were all just screaming,” Houck’s wife, Ryan-Marie, told LifeSite. “It was all just very scary and traumatic.”

Ryan-Marie Houck told the outlet that the group of agents in SWAT gear arrived in 15 vehicles outside the family home at around 7:05 a.m. Friday morning. The agents quickly surrounded the house and began pounding on the door, demanding they open up. Houck reportedly tried to get the agents to calm down, noting that his seven children were scared, but the agents kept shouting. “[T]hey had big, huge rifles pointed at Mark and pointed at me and kind of pointed throughout the house,” his wife said.

Houck and his wife asked the agents why they were there, to which the agents allegedly replied that they were there to arrest him. His wife asked for a warrant, but “they said that they were going to take him whether they had a warrant or not,” Ryan-Marie Houck recalled. She protested, saying that what the agents were doing was tantamount to kidnapping. Only then did they provide a copy of the warrant. Shortly afterward, Houck was apparently taken out and put into one of the vehicles.

Looks like a civil case was dismissed.

Much harder to get a civil case dismissed than a criminal.

Provocation and defense of his son defensive issue notwithstanding, a simple assault (no weapon) with no injury is a pathetic waste of police time.

So clearly political, FBI agents need to be arrested.

The “woke” FBI agent/activists are so deep into the chain of command, they will never be rooted out. The hiring and promotion practices started with Obama and is in the IRS, military, DOJ etc.

These Obama Snowflake Stormtrooper raids of the homes of “guilty until proven innocent” Americans are starting to look more like Nazi tactics. Why the hell does the so called “gubmint” need access to people’s homes and cell phones? Perverts? They sure as hell don’t treat all the foreigners pouring across the border like that. WTH is going on?

The excuse that “I was only following orders” won’t fly when FIB agents participating in such raids, along with their supervisors, are brought to trial on the charge of giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

Yes, you’re correct. Hannity keeps praising the “ranks and file” but I don’t see that anyone of them has stood up and say: “Enough is enough.” We’re all fucked.

This is Obama DARING the Patriotic Right to do anything about it.

This is effectively Obama’s third term to finish what he started in his first two terms: bring down America.

I pray the Left’s satanic plans will be stopped now and ultimately defeated. I pray will see a restoration of America’s Free Constitutional Republic and the tearing down of the $3 trillion unconstitutional portion of the federal government apparatus to the horror of Obama and Satan’s minions on the Left

HE IS A DISGRACE.

He may as well just become a Leftist Extremist Dimocrap.

The once truly conservative BUCKS COUNTY.

What a spectacular loss. Find a conservative with a BACKBONE, for Pete’s sake.
