WASHINGTON, D.C. — Thomas More Society Senior Counsel, Christopher Ferrara. will testify before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government on Tuesday, April 28, 2026.

WHAT: House Judiciary Subcommittee Hearing — "From Tool to Weapon: The FACE Act and the Dangers of Federalizing Criminal Law"

WHEN: Tuesday, April 28, 2026 | 10:00 a.m. ET

WHERE: 2141 Rayburn House Office Building, Washington, D.C.

The hearing comes on the heels of the DOJ Weaponization Working Group report released April 14, 2026. Based on a review of more than 700,000 internal records, the nearly 900-page report details a pattern of selective prosecution, coordination with abortion industry groups, and prosecutorial misconduct in the Biden administration's enforcement of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.  

Thomas More Society represented clients in nearly every major FACE Act prosecution examined in the report, including United States v. Houck, United States v. Gallagher, United States v. Zastrow, and United States v. Handy. Every criminal case highlighted in the report resulted in a presidential pardon or acquittal.  

Thomas More Society proudly stood with these defendants when the full weight of the federal government came down on them for peaceful protest, and now that the truth is documented in black and white, it’s time for Congress to repeal the FACE Act.
