The U.S. Department of Justice removed four prosecutors connected to these cases following allegations of bias and misconduct in the Biden administration's enforcement actions against anti-abortion activists under the FACE Act. Investigations by the department indicated that the prosecutors demanded harsher penalties against pro-life activists and in some cases withheld evidence from defense attorneys. Additionally, there were allegations of jury selection based on religious beliefs and the preference for aggressive methods over voluntary surrender in some arrests. The Department of Justice emphasized that these practices created a double standard in the justice system and deemed this unacceptable. The Trump administration stated that it took these steps to ensure the impartial and fair enforcement of the FACE Act. Enacted in 1994, the FACE Act prohibits the use of force, threats, or physical obstruction to block access to reproductive health services. The department announced that future prosecutions under this law will be limited to extraordinary circumstances only.
