The FACE Act is a federal civil-rights law that makes it a crime to use force, threats of force, or physical obstruction to interfere with people obtaining or providing certain services, or with people exercising religious worship.
It was passed in response to escalating violence and blockades at reproductive health clinics in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Don Lemon was also present and helped promote the action but conveniently was not arrested. So much for Black people staying out of ICE Protests.
AS A NOTE: Black people would’ve joined ICE protests but Latinos and Karen’s called the cops on Black attendees so it was hard to fight against racial profiling to fully participate. So good luck to them.
