A third man, Xavier Batten, has been arrested for his alleged involvement in the firebombing of a Planned Parenthood clinic in California. Batten, along with two other men, including a US marine, is accused of conspiring to attack the clinic due to its provision of reproductive health services. The other suspects, Tibet Ergul and Chance Brannon, are expected to be arraigned on Monday. All three men face charges of conspiracy and malicious destruction of property by fire and explosion. Abortion providers have seen an increase in attacks, with assaults against clinic patients and staff rising by 128% in 2021.
