Biden DOJ Accused of Bias in FACE Act Prosecutions and Heavier Sentences

An internal, nearly 900-page DOJ review alleges biased enforcement of the FACE Act under the Biden administration, including withholding evidence, aggressive arrest tactics, and longer sentences for pro-life defendants than for pro-abortion cases. It describes a national task force led by Sanjay Patel that coordinated with Planned Parenthood and other groups to pursue prosecutions, highlighting cases like Mark Houck. Houck was acquitted in 2023 and Patel was later fired; the report says misconduct referrals and accountability measures may follow to restore integrity in prosecutions.
