Early in the morning on Sept. 23, a team of FBI agents suddenly appeared at the home of Catholic pro-life activist Mark Houck in rural Kintnersville, Pennsylvania. According to Houck’s wife, Ryan-Marie, the FBI squad, numbering about 25 people, emerged from about 15 vehicles and swarmed on the family’s front lawn, sporting helmets, shields, and drawn guns. After reportedly threatening to break down the front door, the agents handcuffed Houck, aged 48, in front of the couple’s seven terrified children and led him away.
