Justice Department sues New Jersey synagogue protesters using law meant to protect abortion clinics​

Federal officials have sued pro-Palestinian demonstrators involved in a heated protest outside a New Jersey synagogue last year, citing a law created to protect abortion clinics from obstruction and threats.

Harmeet Dhillon, who heads the U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, said the lawsuit filed Monday against two pro-Palestinian groups and some demonstrators appears to be the first time the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act has been used against protesters outside a house of worship.

Monday’s lawsuit stems from a Nov. 13 demonstration outside Congregation Ohr Torah in West Orange, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) west of Manhattan. It occurred during a real estate fair that promoted the sale of homes in Israel and in settlements in the occupied West Bank.

The Justice Department, under President Donald Trump, has signaled it would use the 1994 law against pro-Palestinian demonstrators that have protested outside synagogues over the ongoing conflict in Gaza.

“No American should be harassed, targeted, or discriminated against for peacefully practicing their religion,” U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a statement issued Monday. “Today’s lawsuit underscores this Department of Justice’s commitment to defending Jewish Americans — and all Americans of faith — from those who would threaten their right to worship.”

The Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act was passed during a time when abortion clinic protests and violence against abortion providers, such as the murder of Dr. David Gunn in 1993, was on the rise. It specifically prohibits the use of force and physical obstruction to interfere with people at both reproductive health centers or houses of worship.

Laws to "protect" a cetin segment of the population are often a "careful what you wish for" proposition.

Why are they suing them though? For money damages or to get an injunction?

So you think clients of murder clinics have more right to security than people wanting to worship in peace? SMFH.

Nothing in my post said that. I said it was innovative.

 

[pknopp]

If there were physical assaults like claimed you don't need to use this law.

If it was simply a protest it's just the Trump administration further attempting to erode the long held rights of the people.

if the law as designed "specifically prohibits the use of force and physical obstruction to interfere with people at both reproductive health centers or houses of worship." then it is useful when there is no physical assault, just obstruction.

How was it meant just for abortion clinics if the wording of the law includes houses of worship explicitly in the law?

Why do people who are attending church deserve less security than people attending murder clinics?

 

[martybegan]

Just quoting the article.

So the article makes it sound like the Admin is abusing a law in the title, but then admits the law includes places of worship explicitly,...

Seems like hackery is afoot with the writers of this article.

 

[Zincwarrior]

Why do people who are attending church deserve less security than people attending murder clinics?

I don't know anything about the referenced Palestinian protest, but I could just imagine some protest in front of my church like that.

 

[Missourian]

Innovative doesn't say much about your opinion. So, based on your past positions, I inferred that you approved of this law banning protests as applied to abortion clinics but were less enthusiastic when it was applied in this capacity.

I did not know such a Fed law existed before this article, actually.

the law CLEARLY states houses of worship also, so much for novel.
