Newswire: 'Rep. Roy reintroduces legislation to repeal the FACE Act'

January 21, 2025

WASHINGTON — Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) introduced the FACE Act Repeal Act of 2025 to permanently end a law that has too long been weaponized against pro-life Americans.

Americans just spent the last four years being targeted by a weaponized justice system. The FACE Act was one of the primary weapons of abuse — being used to politically target, arrest, and jail pro-life Americans for speaking out and standing up for life.” Congressman Roy said, “While President Trump and his team are already fast at work reversing the damage of the J6 political prosecutions and persecutions through pardons and commutations, I am hopeful those targeted under the FACE Act will be given similar relief. But importantly, we in Congress need to do our part to eliminate the laws used for the weaponization, including the FACE Act. Data my office obtained from Merrick Garland's DOJ showed that 97% of FACE Act prosecutions from 1994-2024 were against pro-life Americans. Now that we have a Republican trifecta in the House, Senate, and White House, Congress should move quickly to repeal this law and ensure that no future president can weaponize it against pro-lifers ever again. No more excuses, let's get it done.

This bill is cosponsored by Reps. Harriet Hageman (WY-AL), Marjorie Taylor Greene (GA-14), Daniel Webster (FL-11), Eli Crane (AZ-2), Josh Brecheen (OK-2), Russ Fulcher (ID-1), Dan Crenshaw (TX-2), Clay Higgins (LA-3), Michael Cloud (TX-27), Warren Davidson (OH-8), Andrew Clyde (GA-9), Burgess Owens (UT-4), Eric Burlison (MO-7), Nick Langworthy (NY-23), Adrian Smith (NE-3), Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13), Andy Ogles (TN-5), Chuck Fleischmann (TN-3), Mary Miller (IL-15), Mark Green (TN-7), Andy Biggs (AZ-5), Barry Moore (AL-1), Pete Stauber (MN-08), Paul Gosar (AZ-09), and Troy Downing (MT-02).

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) will continue this effort in the Senate.
