“Today’s announcement reflects the FBI’s commitment to aggressively investigate crimes against pregnancy resource centers, religious organizations, and reproductive health clinics across the country,” said the director of the FBI. ‘FBI Christopher Wray in a statement.
Wray continued, “We will continue to work closely with our law enforcement partners at the national, state, and local levels to hold accountable anyone who uses extremist views to justify their criminal actions.”
The FBI announcement comes days after a pregnancy center announced it would be hiring private investigators due to a lack of response from the office.
A network of pro-life pregnancy centers in New York has hired private investigators to investigate a firebombing attack on a facility last June after what they describe as an inadequate response by federal law enforcement.
“They responded, but we don’t know what they did,” Tom Brejcha, president and senior counsel of the Thomas More Society, told Fox News Digital of the FBI.
CompassCare, which operates several pro-life pregnancy centers in upstate New York, announced last week that it would join forces with the company, a non-profit law firm, to hire private investigators to find those responsible for the incident at his Buffalo office last summer.
