After months of effort, we are pleased to announce that President Trump’s new leadership of America’s mighty military has done what the Biden Administration refused to do: condemn the training, acknowledge that it caused harm, apologize for it, and assure us that it will not happen again under their watch.

After the outrageous revelation that Army trainees at Fort Bragg (then Fort Liberty) were instructed that pro-life Americans were domestic terrorists, and that our client Operation Rescue was expressly named and its logo pictured prominently on a “TERROR AWARENESS” training slide presentation under the title “TERRORIST GROUPS,” we went to work.

*************

In response to our letter to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll, which we sent after the Biden Administration failed to directly respond to our prior letter of August 2024, Army Secretary Driscoll just sent the ACLJ a letter on behalf of himself and Secretary Hegseth that thanked the ACLJ for our letter and then got right to the point:

I was troubled to learn that an Army antiterrorism and protection training conducted at Fort Bragg, North Carolina had mischaracterized Operation Rescue, National Right to Life, and other pro-life groups as terrorist organizations. This mischaracterization was not only inaccurate but also deeply inappropriate.

Equally concerning was the previous Administration’s inadequate response to this serious incident. Its failure to provide full transparency or take responsibility for such a grievous error is wholly unacceptable.

Let me be clear, the Army does not consider Operation Rescue, National Right to Life, and other pro-life groups to be terrorist organizations. Further, the Army does not view pro-life beliefs or state-issued pro-life license plates as indicators of terrorism.
