It just doesn’t get better than this. Remember how the Biden Administration decided to prosecute grandmothers who dared pray outside abortion clinics.
The FACE Act allows judges to impose fines of up to $10,000 and six months of prison on first-time protesters engaging in nonviolent physical obstruction, such as sit-ins or blockades. Second convictions for these kinds of acts could see fines of up to $25,000 and jail time of up to 18 months. Additionally, the FACE Act allows federal conspiracy charges to be brought against defendants alongside the FACE Act violation itself. That means, in cases like the Surgi-Clinic one, defendants are charged with violating the FACE Act and conspiracy to violate the FACE Act, which carries a massive 10-year potential prison sentence on its own. These activists—who are dedicated to protecting human life—are now facing 11 years in federal prison if they receive the maximum sentence.
This was signed by Bill Clinton in May 1994. Abortion advocates were too busy rejoicing to notice something. Republicans would not approve the FACE act unless it also included protection for:
the use of physical force, threat of physical force, or physical obstruction to intentionally injure, intimidate, interfere with, or attempt to injure, intimidate, or interfere with any person who is exercising or trying to exercise their First Amendment right of religious freedom at a place of religious worship,
Harmeet Dhillon mentioned possible violation of “The Klan Act.” She points out that “The Klan Act is a law that makes it illegal to terrorize and violate the civil rights of citizens.” She cited the fact that the Biden Administration used the act to target individuals who were protesting abortion.
The left-wing liberals who believe that the most precious human right is the right to abort an unborn child failed to consider the possibility of using the FACE act to punish people, well, like them. They have zero interest in listening to people who disagree with them. This is why people like Don Lemon never considered the possibility that the law they championed could be used against them. Oh, the irony.
This time they crossed a big very red line. Those abortion protestors weren’t occupying clinics, they were just protesting. But this crowd invaded a church, foolishly believing that people like Tim Walz and Jacob Frey are even capable of understanding federal law. Walz and Frey encouraged people like Don Lemon to do things they would not do. You don’t see either of them on the front lines assaulting ICE agents. Instead, they just foam at the mouth, protected by their Minnesota State Police protection detail. Even Tim Walz is questioning the wisdom of invading a church during a religious service. Now if Tim Walz realizes something is dumb, it is way beyond obvious.
Many of the people harassing ICE and trying to stop ICE from enforcing federal law are paid protestors. Others are people dumb enough to think this is a good idea. This difference is that while Biden was more than happy to jail people for protesting abortion, Trump is willing to jail people for obstructing ICE officers from enforcing federal law. While the usual suspects consider this political persecution by Trump, they miss the point. Trump has the law on his side, and that will soon become beyond obvious.
What makes this even more delicious is that those who are so quick to lecture us regarding what is and is not fair are about to find out the reality of their delusional view of the world in the hardest way possible.
In addition, consider this. If Tim Walz orders the National Guard to defend Minnesota from Federal Officers executing federal law, at least some of them may listen to people like Mark Kelly advising them to disobey unlawful orders. This is easier to understand if the Federal Officers are wearing body armor, carrying weapons, and the U.S. Army is poised to provide assistance, if necessary.
As for geniuses like Don Lemon, in this case they may have violated “The Klan Act” without a Klu (clue).
