Pro-life advocate Mark Houck is suing the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) for “malicious” and “retaliatory” prosecution as well as for “abuse of process, false arrest, assault, and intentional infliction of emotional distress” after the FBI traumatized the pro-lifer’s family with an armed raid in the early hours of September 23, 2022.

The case drew intense national scrutiny and outrage, and in January 2023, a jury found Houck not guilty. Pro-lifers highlighted Houck’s case as an example of the Biden administration weaponizing law enforcement against its political opponents.

Houck’s lawsuit against the DOJ is seeking accountability for what he sees as unjust governmental intrusion and highlighting concerns about civil liberties and the freedom of the pro-life movement in the United States.

Last August, Houck announced his candidacy for Congress – underscoring his campaign to hold institutions accountable and to defend the principles he holds dear. His story is a focal point for the intersection of activism, legal rights, and the pro-life cause.
