FOIA Reveals SHOCKING Intel at Fort Bragg

One of the most recent egregious examples of weaponization by the federal government came to light back in the fall of 2024 and involved Biden’s Department of Defense labeling pro-life groups as terrorists. Specifically, the U.S. Army trained soldiers at Fort Bragg (known for a short time during the Biden Administration as Fort Liberty) that pro-life groups, including our client Operation Rescue and potentially anyone with a “Choose Life” license plate, were “terrorist groups.” This was, no doubt, a shocking and disturbing discovery that strikes at the heart of our constitutional freedoms.

We took immediate legal action on behalf of Operation Rescue. First, we sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request, demanding all information regarding this offensive, so-called anti-terrorism briefing.

We followed up the FOIA request with a demand letter to the U.S. Army calling for it to apologize and cease mislabeling our client as a terrorist group in its training materials. As we explained at the time:

The idea that those who stand for the sanctity of life – a fundamental tenet of many faiths and a constitutionally protected belief – could be equated with terrorists is not only factually incorrect but also represents a dangerous conflation of peaceful advocacy with violent extremism. This situation is reminiscent of past attempts by government entities to stigmatize and marginalize conservative and Christian viewpoints.

Further, as we stated in our demand letter:

“[T]hese Army officials did not merely identify our client and the other pro-life groups as terrorist organizations as if in some passive statement of opinion – which itself would have been problematic. Instead, they used these materials to train soldiers as they prepare to take on installation access control duties, warning them to consider our client a terrorist organization as they go about their duties.”

To our even greater dismay, after receiving our demand letter and FOIA, the Secretary of the Army later admitted that this egregious mischaracterization had been going on “for at least the last seven years,” raising serious questions about the erosion of religious liberty and freedom of speech within our armed forces.

Thankfully, the Secretary of the Army responded to our demand letter, acknowledging by name that Operation Rescue is not a terrorist group and stating that this training “inaccurately referenced non-profit public advocacy organizations National Right to Life, Operation Rescue, . . . as terrorist groups, which is inconsistent with the Army’s Antiterrorism policy and training.”
