A Catholic father who was targeted by Joe Biden’s abortion-pushing ideologues in government has won a huge settlement for his arrest by SWAT team agents.
Of course the American taxpayer is the one who ultimately must pay as the lawsuit by Mark Houck against the Biden administration actions actually named the Department of Justice as defendant.
Houck’s home and family were “assaulted” by armed federal agents who raided him after he intervened during a pro-life protest to protect his young son from an aggressive and violent abortion escort outside a Planned Parenthood facility.
He later was acquitted of all charges.
According to a report at Lifenews, it is a “major legal victory against blatant targeting and discrimination from former President Joe Biden’s administration.”
The result is a “seven-figure settlement,” although the exact specifications of the deal weren’t released.
Houck’s arrest was made under the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances law, threatening him with up to 11 years in prison, even though the incident triggering the federal assault was unrelated.
The report explained his ordeal began when he stepped in to shield his son from harassment by an abortion escort.
Local police said there was no crime, but for Biden’s abortion-pushing bureaucrats, that wasn’t good enough.
Prosecutors then pursued the high-profile federal counts.
The Biden agenda was blocked when in 2023 a federal jury acquitted him of all counts.
He then sued the DOJ for wrongful prosecution, excessive forces and violation of constitutional rights.
