Biden’s DOJ: Biased Justice Exposed?

A gavel, legal books, and scales of justice on a wooden table

Congressional hearings and lawsuits reveal stark evidence of what many see as Biden-era DOJ weaponization against pro-life Americans while attacks on churches and pregnancy centers went largely unprosecuted.

Story Snapshot

Biden DOJ prosecuted 23 pro-life activists under FACE Act with prison sentences, later pardoned by Trump
Over 100 attacks on churches and pro-life facilities since 2022 resulted in near-zero federal prosecutions
House hearings expose alleged systematic campaign using SWAT raids against peaceful protesters
Heritage Foundation lawsuit demands DOJ records on ignored violence against pro-life organizations

DOJ’s Selective Enforcement Under Scrutiny

The Biden Department of Justice aggressively prosecuted pro-life activists under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act while largely ignoring a wave of violence against churches and pregnancy centers. Attorney Peter Breen of the Thomas More Society testified before a House Oversight Subcommittee in 2026, describing a “systematic campaign” that sent federal agents to arrest peaceful protesters. Twenty-three individuals faced federal indictments and prison sentences for a 2020 clinic blockade before receiving pardons from President Trump in January 2025. This enforcement pattern raises fundamental questions about equal justice under law.

Unprosecuted Violence Against Pro-Life Facilities

Since the Dobbs decision in May 2022, more than 100 documented attacks targeted pro-life centers and churches through vandalism and arson. The DOJ prosecuted virtually none of these perpetrators despite clear criminal activity. The Heritage Foundation and Advancing American Freedom filed Freedom of Information Act lawsuits to obtain records of DOJ investigations into these attacks. The conservative organizations allege the department deliberately shielded what they term “abortion extremists” from accountability. The House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning these attacks by a 219-3 vote, underscoring bipartisan concern about the violence, though not about DOJ’s response.

FACE Act as Political Weapon

The 1994 FACE Act was designed to protect access to abortion clinics, but its application under the Biden administration drew sharp criticism. Pro-life defendants faced SWAT-style raids and multi-year prison sentences for blockade activities that injured a clinic nurse and prevented patient access. Critics argue these aggressive tactics violated First Amendment rights and represented disproportionate force against Americans exercising their conscience. The law’s enforcement coincided with heightened tensions following the Dobbs ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade. Witnesses at congressional hearings urged complete repeal of FACE, viewing it as an instrument of ideological prosecution rather than legitimate law enforcement.

Deep State Protects Its Own Interests

The enforcement disparity illuminates a troubling reality about federal power. While ordinary citizens who peacefully protested abortion faced the full weight of federal law enforcement, those who firebombed churches and vandalized pro-life centers operated with apparent impunity. The DOJ defended its actions by claiming FACE violations were evidence-based and properly prosecuted, while characterizing FOIA requests about unprosecuted attacks as too vague. This selective accountability reinforces the perception that government agencies serve political agendas rather than the American people. Representative Jim Jordan’s investigations into DOJ weaponization uncovered additional concerning patterns, including an FBI memo targeting “radical-traditionalist Catholics” in 2023.

Implications for Justice and Freedom

The Biden DOJ’s approach to FACE Act enforcement left lasting damage to public trust in federal institutions. Pro-life Americans witnessed neighbors imprisoned for their beliefs while attacks on their communities went unpunished. This double standard fuels broader concerns about a two-tiered justice system where political alignment determines legal consequences. The Trump administration’s pardons provided relief to individual defendants but cannot undo the chilling effect on constitutional rights. As the 2026 hearings titled “Entering the Golden Age: Ending the Weaponization of the Justice Department” suggest, reforming these abuses remains an urgent priority for millions who believe government has abandoned its duty to serve all citizens equally.
