A leading Trump administration attorney says the U.S. Department of Justice dismissed several cases against pro-life activists filed by the Biden administration and vowed to prosecute perpetrators responsible for vandalizing churches and pro-life pregnancy centers in the wake of the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022.
In an appearance on “The Glenn Beck Podcast” Saturday, Assistant Attorney General for the U.S. Department of Justice‘s Office of Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon identified protecting “the rights of people of faith throughout the United States, whether they’re in federal agencies or not” as one of the key aspects of the Trump administration’s agenda.
Dhillon also discussed the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act and how it is “supposed to protect people going into abortion facilities from violence.”
Dhillon contends that the legislation has not fulfilled its intended purpose:
“The only violence being done in recent years is to the law and to the rights of speech and of prayer of people of faith who want to pray, which is in their entire First Amendment right, outside abortion facilities. Aside from a group of pro-abortion activists responsible for vandalizing pro-life pregnancy centers in Florida, prosecution of perpetrators behind most other attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers and churches has been relatively muted.“
