A senior legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation thinktank, Hans von Spakovsky, believes the arrest of pro-life activist Mark Houck by armed agents, based on the facts of the case, did not warrant that level of force by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), saying they went “way overboard.”
Von Spakovsky said U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has “weaponized” the DOJ to go after political opponents, and FBI leadership should not have gone along with it.
