DOJ Files Lawsuit Against Five Anti-Abortion Activists for Clinic Blockade

The lawsuit accuses the activists of violating the FACE Act by obstructing access to a Florida reproductive health center in 2022.

The Justice Department seeks monetary penalties and an injunction against the activists.
Three of the defendants were previously convicted of similar charges in Tennessee.
The activists allegedly trespassed and blocked the entrance of the Fort Myers Health Center.
The FACE Act prohibits the use of force, threats, or physical obstruction at reproductive health facilities.
The lawsuit emphasizes the DOJ's commitment to protecting access to reproductive health services.
