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.
They just took another activist out from the 2022 election
Now, with the proper lawyer, he can become wealthy
Rank and file agents. Is Hannity still praising them?
“Good apples?” Not anymore. There comes a time when the actions of your organization must shock your conscience into resignation, or you are a part of the problem. IF you still serve in the FBI after this, you’re a f***ing Nazi. Got it? You have no f***ing excuses anymore.
Mark Houch is probably not a threat to a free society. Meanwhile, the Hunter Laptop is sitting on a shelf someone in the FBI building waiting to be investigaged. Go figure.
Brian Fitzpatrick’s district. Haven’t heard a peep from him about this..
Oh, How we burned in the camps by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn is a great read about this situation.
Basically, the government thugs have no fear of the sheep they are abusing. If, however, the rank and file ‘agents’ did not know for sure if they were coming home that night, they would not be so willing to do their master’s bidding. Trouble is, for that to happen, some of the sheep need to sacrifice themselves to take out these goons when they come busting down the doors in the night.
Amen
Conservatives are supposed to drink their “Ukraine Aid” and rail against the evils of Russia and Vladimir Putin.
I’d like to see the judges who approve these warrants (assuming there was one) held to account. One can dream...
Did you know that the FBI is protecting Hunter? They have a team guarding him 24/7; I’ve heard in a Malibu Beach house. And then they pull this? That’s the Fascist Bureau of Intimidation!
You have a point. But what’s millions to a government that throws away billions and even trillions?
And the borders are WIDE open to drug traffic, cartels, smuggling and terrorists on the HD list.
It’s not hard to find. Here is the passage in full:
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

I was taking the point of view of the plaintiff.
Like you said, to the government, money is not really important
I read an article last week of one FBI agent who became a whistleblower and he’s going thru all kinds of reprisals. So much for the whistleblower protection act. Perfectly explains why none of these FBI agents resign in protest
More men in body armor, with scary, full auto, actual "assault weapons" and, no doubt, with evil "silencers", than the number of SEALS on the Bin Laden raid.
No one, in the fbi, deserves any respect.
No doubt Mr Houck will be labeled a violent domestic extremist.
I expect to see him at his first hearing in an orange jump suit, leg chains, with his cuffed hands shackled to his waist.
Tha is a proper way to look at this. At which event do the decent and good FBI members say that association by working for the Strzcks of the FBI is just a stain on their own credibility. 25-30 agents indeed.

When I was a Marine in El Toro in the early 90’s, Los Angeles was off limits to Marines because of our involvement in the Rodney King riots. People in South Central wanted to kill us. I had nothing to do with the riots myself. I’d been on the other coast when they happened. But you wear the uniform, the actions of your organization reflect on you personally. That’s just the way it goes. Only question is, can you be proud of the actions that uniform or badge represent? I was okay with it. Are the Feebs?
Cowards. A couple of dozen “men” with rifles against a preacher with 7 kids never known to be violent. Dynamically clearing the house. Darkness raid.
You never see F-troop raid Chicago gangs, antifa, BLM terrorists, etc.
Two men in sport jackets could have knocked on the door at 8am. Pure cowardice because most FBI agents never personally make an arrest in their entire career. They certainly don’t do it alone in a dark alley, or in a living room with maybe one partner. Despite hit movies they don’t arrest armed robbers etc. they are about 45 times less likely to shoot than a city cop because they do not operate in dangerous places.
They are terrified and it shows in their raids.
