Washington, D.C. Newsroom, Jan 25, 2023 / 16:30 pm The Department of Justice on Tuesday indicted two suspects accused of vandalizing three pro-life pregnancy centers in Florida in June 2022 in the wake of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade.

The indictment against the two Floridians, 27-year-old Caleb Freestone and 23-year-old Amber Smith-Stewart, accuses them of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which is also known as the FACE Act.

I think he’s a real Floridian. He was caught writing down parent’s names at a school Board meeting in Miami.

Yup. Lots of love for illegals and antifa. I hope they get a lot of years to network in prison. And by “they,” I mean both of them. Both use “their” pronouns on FB. Tre chic.
