ICYMI: “Justice is blind and we must follow the facts wherever they may take us.”

WASHINGTON, DC- On Tuesday morning, Representative Chip Roy (TX-21) chaired the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government.

Key quotes from the subcommittee are below.

  • "Like all components of the Justice Department, the Civil Rights Division is expected to…equally enforce the law. Unfortunately, under the Biden administration, this has not always been the case."

  • "Civil Rights Division has fixated sight, for example, on those charged with protecting us - police departments. Often harassing these departments to the point that they cannot do their jobs."

  • "The division must return to the nonpartisan work of protecting the rights of all Americans."

  • "Mark Houck who was targeted, had a raid of his home, prosecuted under [the FACE Act] was acquitted by a jury. Have you apologized to him on behalf of the DOJ for that grave violation of his civil rights - having his family have to watch him being raided at his home?"
