The new documents were only made available to the House Judiciary Committee. The FBI has requested that the committee not disseminate the documents without consulting it first.
House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, argued that the Department of Justice and the FBI are selectively enforcing the FACE Act and other laws in ways that target pro-life activists and conservatives but let pro-abortion and left-wing activists off the hook.
Nicole Neily, the founder of Parents Defending Education, told the committee her office worked with parents who became worried about speaking against their school boards following the memo.

Calling the memo a ‘threat to religious liberty,’ Bishop Knestout called on lawmakers to ‘ensure that such offenses against the constitutionally protected free exercise of religion do not occur again.’
The FBI confirmed to CNA on Feb. 9 that the document came from its Richmond field office and issued a statement retracting it.
