The Trump administration’s Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias released a report accusing the Biden administration of systemic actions against Christians, documenting policy, prosecutorial, and investigative moves that the Task Force says harmed religious liberty; the report spans over-200 pages and the full 209 page report and supplementary evidence are available for review.
The Task Force to Eradicate Anti-Christian Bias says the Biden Justice Department and other agencies took steps that targeted Christian Americans in ways that merit concern. The document compiles incidents, internal communications, and policy shifts and argues those actions went beyond ordinary enforcement into ideological targeting. From vaccine exemptions to scrutiny of church sermons, the report frames a pattern rather than isolated mistakes.
At the center of the findings is the claim the administration ignored religious exemptions during COVID vaccine rollouts and reshaped rules to fit policy aims. The Task Force asserts the administration “used policy and regulatory” to “eliminate statutory protections for religious Americans that interfered with his policy goals.” That language appears in context with examples the report says show preferential treatment for certain constituencies over traditional religious communities.
One leaked internal email cited in the report is sharp and chilling, with a DOJ prosecutor allegedly saying they would “like to prosecute any nun who still wears the head habit.” The inclusion of that line is intended to show the cultural contempt some officials held toward visible expressions of faith. The report pairs that with case files and internal notes that the Task Force claims show prosecutorial overreach against religious practitioners.
The Task Force also documents what it calls aggressive tactics against those protesting outside abortion clinics, painting criminal charges and investigations as politically charged rather than neutral law enforcement. It further alleges the FBI “investigated, monitored, tracked, and scrutinized traditional Catholics who had engaged in no criminal misconduct.” The implication is that routine religious activity became a subject of federal suspicion simply because it conflicted with prevailing policy views.
Financial oversight also appears in the report’s crosshairs, with claims the IRS launched inquiries into churches and faith-based groups over sermons and scriptural guidance. According to the Task Force, the IRS “investigated churches because of what their pastors preached and Christian organizations because they applied biblical teachings to daily life.” For believers, that raises serious First Amendment concerns about free exercise and free speech in religious settings.
The Department of Justice framed the Task Force’s findings as both an indictment of past actions and a statement of restoration. “While this report details the egregious actions of the Biden Administration against Christians, it also demonstrates how the Trump Administration is restoring the rights of Christians—and all Americans—to practice their faith without fear of retribution,” the Department of Justice stated in a press release. That official line positions the report as a turning point rather than just a tally of offenses.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche issued a direct statement that the Task Force used to underscore the stakes. “No American should live in fear that the federal government will punish them for their faith,” said Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. “As our report lays out, the Biden Administration’s actions devastated the lives of many Christian Americans. That devastation ended with President Trump. The Department of Justice will continue to expose bad actors who targeted Christians and work tirelessly to restore religious liberty for all Americans of faith.”
The Task Force’s compilation goes beyond assertions and includes a lengthy appendix of supporting documents, emails, and case references to back its claims across the 209 page report. Readers will find timelines and quoted exchanges that the Task Force believes show a sustained pattern of actions harmful to religious practice. Whether one accepts the report’s conclusions, it forces a serious conversation about boundaries between policy priorities and constitutional protections.
For conservatives and religious Americans, the report reads as confirmation of what many suspected: that federal power was sometimes wielded in ways that chilled public religious expression. The Task Force presents a legal and moral case for renewed vigilance and a push to clarify how government agencies balance public policy with the First Amendment. The debate the report sparks will touch on enforcement policy, agency culture, and the role of political perspective in federal decision making.
