The Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias within the Department of Justice published a 200-page report on Thursday outlining numerous instances of anti-Christian discrimination during the Biden administration. The document, supported by over 1,100 footnotes and 300 pages of exhibits, details how Biden-era policies and prosecutions targeted Christians on issues including life, family, marriage, education, and medical decisions.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who chairs the task force, stated, "No American should live in fear that the federal government will punish them for their faith." He added that the Biden administration's actions "devastated the lives of many Christian Americans," but that era ended under President Trump. The Justice Department coordinated input from 17 federal agencies and met with over 100 stakeholders and victims.

The report highlighted the Biden Justice Department's use of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, or FACE Act, primarily against pro-life Christians, resulting in longer sentences than for pro-abortion activists. It also documented aggressive opposition to parents protesting at school board meetings via the 2021 Garland memo, mandates advancing gender ideology beyond the Supreme Court's Bostock ruling, and dismissal of federal employees' religious objections to COVID-19 vaccines as "insincere."

Other agencies drew scrutiny as well. The IRS denied tax-exempt status to a Christian organization because its Bible-based teachings were deemed affiliated with Republicans, and it unevenly enforced the Johnson Amendment against conservative-leaning churches. The FBI issued a memo targeting "radical-traditionalist" Catholics, leading to surveillance of a priest and a chapel linked to a criminal with no church involvement. The Department of Education imposed excessive fines on Christian universities like Grand Canyon and Liberty, rejected parental concerns over explicit school materials, and used Title IX to penalize schools opposing transgender policies in sports and facilities.

The task force originated from President Trump's Executive Order 14202, signed February 6, 2025, which established it to review Biden-era actions and eradicate such bias. This report fulfills an initial assessment mandate, with further investigations planned.

The Trump administration has responded by rescinding the Garland memo and Biden-era Bostock guidance, issuing opinions protecting federal employees' religious accommodations, shifting FACE Act enforcement to protect houses of worship, and filing suits against districts imposing gender ideology. The Civil Rights Division now prioritizes religious liberty cases under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act.

The report concludes that while the Biden administration tolerated private Christian beliefs, it limited public expressions of faith, creating unequal treatment under the law.
