DOJ charges Tennessee pro-life activists with violating FACE Act, still no arrests in Jane's Revenge attacks

Two pro-life activists have been accused by the Department of Justice (DOJ) of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act. 

Defendants Bevelyn Williams and Edmee Chavannes of Tennessee are charged in connection with "a multi-year campaign to interfere with individuals seeking to obtain and provide lawful reproductive health services in New York and in several other states."

ZERO ARRESTS IN AT LEAST 17 JANE'S REVENGE ATTACKS ON PRO-LIFE ORGANIZATIONS

"As alleged, the defendants repeatedly attempted — including by using threats, and on at least one occasion, force — to prevent individuals from accessing their legal right to reproductive health services," said U.S. Attorney Damian Williams. "This Office will remain committed to ensuring that healthcare facilities, their staff, and those seeking to obtain reproductive health services can continue to do so without unlawful interference."

Williams and Chavannes live-streamed their attempts to stop individuals from soliciting abortions on social media, promising to "terrorize" targeted abortion clinics, prosecutors say.

LETTER SIGNED BY RADICAL ABORTION GROUP JANE'S REVENGE DECLARES ‘OPEN SEASON’ ON PRO-LIFE PREGNANCY CENTERS

Not a single arrest has been made in the more than a dozen attacks on pro-life organizations across the country claimed by left-wing pro-abortion group Jane’s Revenge.

Jane’s Revenge has claimed responsibility for at least 18 arson and vandalism attacks on crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) and other faith-based organizations throughout the U.S. since the May 2 leak of the Supreme Court draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation first told Fox News Digital in June that it had launched an investigation into the targeted vandalism. 

The FBI said in a Sept. 7 statement that it was still investigating the "series of attacks and threats targeting pregnancy resource centers, faith-based organizations, and reproductive health clinics across the country, as well as to judicial buildings, including the US Supreme Court," but it made no mention of Jane’s Revenge specifically.

NBC News' Ben Collins temporarily banned from covering Elon Musk on air after attacking Twitter owner: report

NBC News reporter Ben Collins has reportedly been temporarily blocked from covering Elon Musk and his handling of Twitter after the outspoken scribe repeatedly and openly criticized the billionaire Twitter owner. 

Semafor reported that the left-wing reporter, who covers "disinformation," has been "temporarily suspended" from covering Musk on NBC and MSNBC, citing two sources who said he was informed earlier this month his criticism of Musk was "not editorially appropriate."

NBC News, MSNBC and Collins did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

NBC NEWS REPORTER BEN COLLINS REPEATEDLY ATTACKS, RIDICULES ELON MUSK WHILE COVERING TWITTER OWNER

Since April 2022 when Musk first expressed interest in buying Twitter, Collins has criticized the billionaire at every turn. Last week, Collins mocked the Tesla mogul for declaring he recently found out Twitter hired a former FBI attorney to serve as in-house counsel before he purchased the tech giant. 

As a result of Collins openly bashing someone he covers for NBC News, which bills itself as a straight-news operation, many pondered if it was appropriate for Collins to continue reporting on Musk. 

Collins has been compared to former CNN media pundit Brian Stelter because of his willingness to express open disdain for people and organizations he covers.

LEFT-WING NBC REPORTER BEN COLLINS CRUSHED FOR ‘MELTDOWN’ ABOUT ‘TWITTER FILES’: ‘I HOPE YOU FIND HEALING’

In a Fox News Digital report last month on Collins' unbridled animosity toward Musk – it also included that Collins was among journalists who thought Twitter was about to collapse a month ago – District Media Group president Beverly Hallberg said she was surprised Collins would demonstrate clear vitriol toward someone he’s tasked with covering.

"Ben Collins is supposed to be reporting the news, yet he’s giving clear opinion and attacking actual journalism in the process. It’s quite something that he’s been so bold in showing his true colors, and it points to how siloed the media elite are since they don’t even realize their own bias," Hallberg said.

Collins tweeted a simple heart emoji shortly after reports of his suspension hit the internet. 

NBC News did not respond last week when asked if executives believe Collins can fairly cover Musk and Twitter, or if he is now considered an opinion pundit. NBC News also did not respond when asked if it has a problem with Collins offering his opinion so directly about a topic he covers. His last on-air appearance for MSNBC came on Dec. 2, according to a search of Grabien Media transcripts.

He covered Thursday night's suspensions of other liberal journalists on Twitter.
