DOJ Fires Prosecutors Who Weaponized FACE Act Against Pro-Life Activists Under Biden
Breitbart ^ | 14 Apr 2026 | Katherine Hamilton

The Department of Justice (DOJ) has fired several prosecutors who weaponized the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act to go after pro-life activists during the Biden administration.

CBS News reported Monday evening — before the agency released a bombshell report about the Biden-era DOJ’s abuse of power — that at least four prosecutors had been fired for their role in targeting pro-life Americans with the FACE Act. The DOJ confirmed the firings in a post to X.

“DOJ has terminated the employment of personnel responsible for weaponizing the FACE Act who still remained at the department,” the agency said on social media.

Among those fired on Monday is Sanjay Patel, a federal prosecutor in the Civil Rights Division, who was placed on administrative leave last month, the outlet reported.

Patel — who was the architect behind the Biden DOJ’s pairing of a KKK-era charge called “conspiracy against rights” with the FACE Act to bolster potential sentencing time for pro-life activists — was prominently featured in the lengthy DOJ report and accused of working to target pro-lifers at the behest of abortion groups.

Many other federal prosecutors who handled FACE Act cases have already left the DOJ, according to the report.

The FACE Act is a 1994 law that “prohibits the use or threat of force and physical obstruction that injures, intimidates, or interferes with a person seeking to obtain or provide reproductive health services or to exercise the First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship.” The act was written to equally protect abortion clinics, pro-life pregnancy resource centers, and churches; however, data indicate that 97 percent of FACE Act cases since the law’s inception have been against pro-life advocates.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

The DOJ’s nearly 900-page “Weaponization Working Group” report constitutes a review of approximately 700,000 internal DOJ records showing the Biden administration weaponizing FACE Act against pro-life Americans by engaging in biased enforcement, demanding harsher sentencing, authorizing aggressive arrest tactics, collaborating with pro-abortion groups for surveillance, and making inappropriate comments about religion.

“This Department will not tolerate a two-tiered system of justice,” Acting Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement following the release of the report. “No Department should conduct selective prosecution based on beliefs. The weaponization that happened under the Biden Administration will not happen again, as we restore integrity to our prosecutorial system.”

Only question I have is this;
Did the people responsible for this
PERSONALLY have to repay the people
they abused?

Biggest problem I have with our system.
Democrats get away with “Murder”
and we all pay the price.

DOJ firings are the latest of last year’s purge of DOJ employees.
Many worked on criminal or civil cases opposed by the Trump admin or Pres Trump’s allies.
<><>Congress passed the FACE Act in 1994 Clinton-era
<><>addressed abortion fanatics concerns about pro-lifers opposing abortion
<><>Clinton considered pro-lifers “threats” to women at PP-type abortion clinics.
<><>Non violent and first-time FACE offenses are misdemeanors,
<><>repeat offenses or violations that result in bodily injury or death can be felonies.

The recent FACE Act report is being drafted by the DOJ’s “weaponization
working group,” established in the first days of ex-AG Pam Bondi’s tenure.

These things take time.

The FBI wasn’t ruined over night when Obama, Comey, Holder and Lynch came in.

It took a little while, but after about 3 years, the FBI had become a joke.

I hope they all at least had a shoe print on their butts
as they carried their cardboard box of belongings out the door.

The next d president will reach a settlement with these lawyers exactly as Bidet’s did with Peter Strzok and Lisa Page after they were fired by Trump for their illegal deeds. The purpose was to harm, they succeeded, and will be rewarded for their politicization of the DoJ.

DOJ, FBI, and CIA has some significant low life employees. Their names need to be commonly known. I was trying to think of the amount of multi-billion dollar lawsuit President Trump will inevitably file. I wouldn’t be shocked that it would in the neighborhood of 20 billion. He is not a Romanov, he is a Trump. He will fight them till the agree to his deals.

You know nothing!

lol, jk, you probably see that a lot. Yes, unfortunately, political crime judgments can be undone by the next administration...pardoning, expunging, re-evaluating the facts, manipulating a compliant media, etc.
