The lawsuit notice points out that the FBI and DOJ ignored the fact that, as a volunteer at the Community Women’s Center of America pregnancy center, he had equal standing under the FACE Act, among other concerns related to violation of his rights.
EDITORIAL: We should be concerned that the FBI is on its way to becoming an agency of intimidation wielded against the Catholic faithful of our nation whenever any member speaks out against abortion and gender ideology.
Facing 11 years in prison, Houck was acquitted by a jury after only an hour of deliberation.
Pennsylvania Republican Rep. Scott Perry invited pro-life advocate and recently exonerated Catholic father of seven Mark Houck to be his guest.
The father of seven plans to sue the FBI and other authorities following his ordeal.
Many people online expressed excitement about the win along with concerns about the power of the Department of Justice.
Houck was doing sidewalk counseling outside the facility at the time of the 2021 incident in connection with his work with The King’s Men, a national men’s faith formation apostolate he runs.
Defense lawyers for Houck could not comment on the reason for the replacement.
The judge sent the jury home with instructions to return to court and resume their deliberations Monday morning.
