New Justice Department Investigation Claims Systematic Anti-Christian Bias Under Biden Administration

The Department of Justice has released a comprehensive 500-page report alleging that federal agencies engaged in widespread discrimination against Christian Americans during the Biden administration. Chaired by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the task force was established following a February 2025 executive order from President Donald Trump to investigate patterns of federal targeting. The document examines internal case files and policy decisions across 17 federal agencies, asserting that the previous administration utilized the FBI, IRS, and the Departments of Education and Health and Human Services to monitor and pressure religious organizations.

The findings highlight specific controversies, including a 2023 FBI memo regarding traditionalist Catholics and various regulatory shifts concerning gender, abortion, and contraception. Proponents of the report, such as the Conscience Project, argue that these actions represented a significant failure to uphold First Amendment protections and religious freedom. Conversely, critics and organizations like the Interfaith Alliance have dismissed the findings as a politically motivated effort to promote a narrative of persecution. Legal experts remain divided on the scope of the alleged bias, with some suggesting that while enforcement priorities shifted under the previous administration, the existence of a systematic, religion-based agenda remains a subject of intense debate. This release follows a separate, extensive report from the department that previously criticized the application of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act.
