The lead attorney in the case involving pro-life speaker Mark Houck said that sending a team of heavily armed federal agents to his client’s home to arrest him in front of his wife and children on Sept. 23 represents a “new low” for the U.S. Department of Justice.

“Regular law-abiding citizens should not fear 20 heavily armed agents at their door to drag them out while trying to enjoy their morning coffee. This is outrageous,” said Peter Breen, vice president and senior attorney at the Thomas More Society, a national non-profit law firm.
