On Tuesday, Attorney General Pamela Bondi hosted the inaugural gathering of the “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias Task Force” at the Department of Justice. Aimed at addressing concerns about perceived discrimination against Christians, this initiative was birthed from a February executive order issued by President Donald Trump.
The executive order outlines a commitment to rooting out anti-Christian discrimination within federal agencies, reflecting a broader agenda to champion religious liberty.
As per the executive order:
“The previous Administration engaged in an egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses. The Biden Department of Justice sought to squelch faith in the public square by bringing Federal criminal charges and obtaining in numerous cases multi-year prison sentences against nearly two dozen peaceful pro-life Christians for praying and demonstrating outside abortion facilities.
Those convicted included a Catholic priest and a 75-year-old grandmother, as well as an 87-year-old woman and a father of 11 children who were arrested 18 months after praying and singing hymns outside an abortion facility in Tennessee as part of a politically motivated prosecution campaign by the Biden Administration. I rectified this injustice on January 23, 2025, by issuing pardons in these cases.
At the same time, Catholic churches, charities, and pro-life centers sought justice for violence, theft, and arson perpetrated against them, which the Biden Department of Justice largely ignored. After more than 100 attacks, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning this violence and calling on the Biden Administration to enforce the law.
Then, in 2023, a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) memorandum asserted that “radical-traditionalist” Catholics were domestic-terrorism threats and suggested infiltrating Catholic churches as “threat mitigation.” This later-retracted FBI memorandum cited as support evidence propaganda from highly partisan sources.”
The meeting attracted significant attention, with notable figures such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, FBI Director Kristi Noem, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Education Secretary Linda McMahon in attendance.
“We’re excited to be here for the launch of the Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, as outlined in the President’s executive order,” Bondi stated. “Together, this Task Force will identify any unlawful anti-Christian policies, practices, or conduct across the government. We will seek input from faith-based organizations and state governments to end anti-Christian bias. Additionally, we aim to identify and rectify deficiencies in existing regulatory practices that may contribute to this bias,” she elaborated.
