Last year, we told you about Mark Houck, a devout Catholic Pro-Life activist, arrested in his own home in front of his children for 'assaulting' a clinic escort. Once the case went to court, it was proven the clinic employee had harassed Houck's child and he had every right to intervene in defense of said child. Thankfully, the jury found him not guilty, but the damage to his family was done as well as the money spent for an attorney. Today, Chip Roy had questions about this case for the DOJ.
Chip Roy: "Have you apologized to [Mark Houck] on behalf of the DOJ for that grave violation of his civil rights? Having his family have to watch him being raided at his home?"

DOJ's Kristen Clarke: "We follow the facts and apply the law, that is our job..." pic.twitter.com/r8XhJWgJZH
Obviously, they did not follow the facts or the law because Houck was found not guilty really quickly.
This was a politically motivated persecution of a man who had the “wrong” politics. Gross abuse of power. If Clarke won’t apologize, Biden should fire her. https://t.co/KHUBaM1NPp

The only explanation is political motivation and their hope of bullying Pro-Life protestors.
No @chiproytx my family has not received an apology from the @FBI, @TheJusticeDept , or @KristenClarkeJD. My dm's are open for that apology any time now!@FoxNews @seanhannity @benshapiro @realDailyWire @NEWSMAX https://t.co/visX9f2p5S

Well, there is the answer straight from Houck. Definitely follow his account for updates.
The text of the FACE Act is supposedly nonpartisan, but the DOJ has never used it in a nonpartisan way.

It's time for the FACE Act to go. https://t.co/yow4xDuHyI
You are right. Thena gain, both Garland and Wray REPEATEDLY have refused to apologize. They should be fired, too.

Surely, she is completely impartial. Sarcasm.
They are too scared to even say "no, we don't regret it". They openly violate our civil rights and don't even have the stones to own up to it.

This is the same Justice department that is turning a blind eye to the rampant antisemitism and hate for our Jewish neighbors and their businesses as they are under direct assault.

They feel no need to own up to it because there are no consequences to their lives or careers for falsely arresting Americans in front of their children. Maybe, if they lost their jobs and were imprisoned themselves for falsely applying the law, they would be much more careful about who they arrested. As it stands, there is no incentive for them to behave better.
