Overview

• The Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, established by President Trump's February executive order, held its first meeting on April 22, 2025, at the Department of Justice headquarters.
• Attorney General Pam Bondi outlined the task force's goals, including identifying and addressing alleged anti-Christian policies and practices across federal agencies.
• The Department of Veterans Affairs launched its own initiative, asking employees to report instances of perceived anti-Christian bias, including vaccine mandate-related disputes and other alleged discriminatory acts.
• The Department of Justice dropped three cases against pro-life protesters and revised its interpretation of the FACE Act as part of early actions under the task force's mandate.
• Civil liberties groups, including Americans United for Separation of Church and State, criticized the initiative, warning it could misuse religious freedom to justify discrimination and undermine constitutional protections.
