Washington D.C., Feb 4, 2023 / 10:00 am Congress will begin investigating what Republicans call the “weaponization” of the federal government against pro-life advocates and Christians next Thursday, according to announcements from leading House members.
After a House vote authorized the creation of the Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government, Republicans have said they are committed to providing “oversight” and “accountability” to federal agencies that have been targeting parents, anti-abortion protesters, and Christians.
The investigation will operate under the House Judiciary Committee and be chaired by Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan.
A primary focus of the investigation will be the Biden administration’s targeting of pro-lifers through the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, according to CNA communications with Russell Dye, Jordan’s communications director.
In 2022 the Biden Justice Department prosecuted a record 26 pro-life advocates under the FACE Act. Meanwhile, last year saw nearly 100 attacks against pregnancy resource centers and churches that went largely unpunished.
Perhaps the most controversial use of the FACE Act was the arrest of Catholic father and pro-life activist Mark Houck. The Pennsylvania resident was accused of pushing a Planned Parenthood volunteer in defense of his son about a year before his arrest. In September 2022 Houck was taken into custody by armed FBI agents while he was at home with his wife and children.

“Investigation into FBI, Fed Agencies’ Targeting of Christians and Pro-Lifers to Begin Next Week”
Hope it goes better than the investigations into the IRS targeting the TEA parties.
Good, I hope they expose every facet of corruption from the janitor all the way to the 7th floor!
Jordan is working fast. Good.
Or, those demanding election integrity.
That looks like a ballistic shield that one jack booted thug has, in the photo.
What did they think Mr Houck was going to do?
Bet some of them were itching to pull the trigger.
Excellent!
Yes, I will be the negative one and state that nothing will happen just like nothing has happened in the past.
The deep state is....well...deep.
