According to a report from LifeSiteNews, a well-known pro-life author and sidewalk counselor was arrested in front of his children after the Department of Justice ordered a raid on his house.

Ryan-Marie Houck told the outlet that her husband, Mark Houck, traveled to Philadelphia every Wednesday to speak outside of abortion clinics for six to eight hours at a time.

She said that the FACE violation charge was picked up by the DOJ. Houck said that her husbandshoved a pro-abortion man away from his son after the man entered the son's personal space and refused to stop making offensive comments.

The man tried to file a lawsuit.

Houck's rural home was raided by FBI agents who went to the door and yelled at the family to open it.

Before opening the door, Mark Houck begged the FBI agents to let his kids in the house. Seven babies are in the house.

When the door was opened, the agents pointed their guns at the Houcks and told them to go upstairs. All the kids were yelling. She said it was frightening and traumatic.

The FBI agents put Houck into a vehicle and when his wife asked if they had a warrant, they said they would take him.

They presented her with the first page of the warrant after she accused them of abducting her husband.

The federal building in downtown Philadelphia was where Mark Houck was taken.

The children were sad and stressed after the incident. I don't know what's going to happen when you see guns pointed at your parents when you first wake up in the morning
