As Madeline reported, pro-life father Mark Houck was acquitted Monday of federal charges filed by the Department of Justice -- alleging he violated the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE).
In September, even after local authorities declined to file charges, dozens of armed FBI agents raided Houck's home with his children present.
The response to his acquittal has been swift, with pro-life activists pointing out the despicable intimidation imposed on his family by the Department of Justice.

Pro-life father and sidewalk advocate Mark Houck has been found NOT GUILTY of violating the FACE Act.
Last October he was raided at gunpoint by the Biden FBI in front of his 7 children & faced up to 11 years in prison. https://t.co/ezgDyUOe8B

The unjust process, is of course, the point.
Some folks might mistakenly interpret this as an embarrassing loss for the politicized DOJ, but that would be ignoring their modus operandi, which is to punish people by putting them and their families through this process. In any case, congrats to Mr. Houck for prevailing. https://t.co/k9v7uNp8hs
