Overview

  • The Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias, established by a February executive order, held its inaugural meeting on April 22, 2025, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi.
  • Senior Trump administration officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, participated in the meeting to address claims of systemic anti-Christian policies under the Biden administration.
  • The Department of Justice announced it has dropped three cases against pro-life activists and redefined the FACE Act to prevent its perceived misuse against Christian groups.
  • Testimonies at the meeting included allegations of bias against Christian colleges, federal employees denied religious exemptions, and churches investigated for political speech.
  • Civil-liberties groups, like the Interfaith Alliance, dispute the premise of widespread anti-Christian bias, warning the task force could undermine civil rights and church-state separation.
