Trump-Backed Weaponization Report Alleges Biden DOJ Misused FACE Act Against Protesters

A Trump-commissioned Weaponization Working Group report accuses the Biden DOJ of biased enforcement of the FACE Act against anti-abortion protesters, alleging harsher sentences, alleged withholding of evidence, and improper juror screening, while noting the document has no legal weight; it follows firings linked to FACE Act prosecutions and comes as the administration says it is reversing prior enforcement, with supporters citing public safety and equal application of the law.

22-year-old woman charged with arson at Wyoming abortion clinic.

A woman has been arrested for setting fire to a building in Wyoming that was being renovated to house the state's only full-service abortion clinic. The fire occurred on May 25, 2022, in Casper, the state's second-largest city and the site of frequent anti-abortion protests. The suspect faces up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine if convicted. The clinic had been scheduled to open last summer but was delayed due to the fire. It was then slated to open next month but was thrown into doubt after Gov. Mark Gordon allowed a broad new abortion ban to take effect on Sunday without his signature.
