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.
And Mastriano came right out, without cowering, and stated his support of the man.
THIS, TOO, WILL BACKLASH AGAINST THE HATED FBI, IN THESE GREAT UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
HAVE THEY NO SHAME?
It’s the pensions; blow the whistle, lose not just the salary, but the pension.
This makes them slaves. Slaves have no autonomy, no capacity to refuse and so, no honor.
The article says a civil suit was dismissed. The feds are using an “Access to Abortion Clinics” law to charge the Pro-Life guy, Mark Houck, with pushing a pro-abortion activist (who was supposedly yelling obscenities at Houck’s 12-year old son and wouldn’t stop when asked repeatedly). The jerk fell down.
At most, this sounds like a simply assault. The lawsuit likely collapsed because the “victim” asked for it, did a flop, and wasn’t actually injured. The connection to the federal statute is tenuous, especially after the recent SCOTUS ruling that zapped any claim to a right to abortion via the US Constitution, and returned the issue to the States. Then one wonders why 25-30 armed agents were required, versus contacting the guy’s lawyer to arrange a voluntary surrender. If the FBI has funds to waste like this, it’s time to decimate the budget.
Solzhenitsyn didn't die until 2008.
It’s time to start associating the FBI agents involved in these raids, their names, their faces, their field office locations.
Hey, if they are just in their actions, they should own their actions. Show your faces, tell us your names.
Are they not heroes and defenders of the law? Or are they tyrannical agents of the state?
The righteous should have no fear of acting righteously.
There will be a reckoning.
The dates in the book’s title refer to the period of time that the Soviet Union’s gulag prison system operated: 1918-1956.
“Shortly afterward, Houck was apparently taken out and put into one of the vehicles.”

Shouldn’t that be .0001%, since there’s only been one whistleblower?
The ‘national media’ is simply the propaganda organ of the DS. They aren’t really the ‘4th estate’.
Preacher?
He’s a Catholic pro-life activist.
One RUBY RIDGE AFTER ANOTHER.
It was done to scare the citizenry - because the feebs in power are terrified that they’ll have to answer for their actions.
It’s all about creating a culture. Just like all the notorious organizations. The police state organizations FBI DEA ATF have indoctrinated their employees into the police state mentality. Each agent accepts the dominant culture or they are kicked out. But the benefits of being a thug are enticing to many and the prospect of stealing property and terrorizing victims is intoxicating.
It took 30 FBI agents to do the job of what one sheriff could do some more of Biden’s see my power gig.
You go girls
“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.” “
Seen a couple of these so far.
Its like when I say “there are no “good” Muslims”. Until I see THOUSANDS in the streets protesting against the “bad” Muslims (happening in Iran right now) they are all the same.
Or in other words...
“there are no “good” FBI agents. Until I see HUNDREDS in the streets protesting against the “bad” FBI (happening NOWHERE right now) they are all the same.
Well these agents are in bondage to evil so in a sense they are slaves.
But that defense didn’t work in Nuremberg nor will it work in eternity.
If they don’t exercise their volition they still have in this life and refuse to follow evil, they will soon be in Hell.
At least they can keep their 30 pieces of silver or their pension for that.
She says some the agents seemed ashamed. Don't worry boys, as has been said about shooting people-it gets easier after the first one. And I'm pretty certain the people pulling the strings are banking on that.
How is this any different than a Nazi Raid by Hitler’s SS?
