An Oregon man pleaded guilty Monday for breaking windows and destroying property at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Grants Pass, Oregon, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Devin Friedrick Kruse said he did this because the clinic provides reproductive health services.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kruse, 27, pleaded guilty\"\" to two misdemeanor counts of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Justice Department will not tolerate unlawful and violent conduct that interferes with the work of reproductive health clinics,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department\u2019s Civil Rights Division.\u00a0\u201cThis conviction should send a strong message that we will use federal civil rights law to protect clinics and staff that provide reproductive health services while safeguarding the rights of their patients.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cThe First Amendment does not allow individuals to violate the civils rights of others,\u201d said U.S. Attorney Natalie Wight for the District of Oregon. \u201cIn this case, Mr. Kruse\u2019s destructive and intimidating acts prevented women from accessing vital reproductive and pregnancy health services.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCitizens have a legal right to peacefully protest, but Mr. Kruse\u2019s actions of repeated violence toward a Planned Parenthood clinic crossed a line,\u201d said Special Agent in Charge Kieran L. Ramsey of the FBI Portland Field Office. \u201cThe FBI will continue to work with our federal, state and local law enforcement partners to ensure the safety of our communities while respecting individuals\u2019 First Amendment rights.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to court documents, on Nov. 23, 2021, Kruse broke five security cameras, a window, and a sign at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Grants Pass. Three days later, on Nov. 26, 2021, Kruse returned and threw a concrete block through the clinic\u2019s window, tore down an intercom system and broke several light bulbs. Kruse later admitted to damaging the facility because he was angry at Planned Parenthood for killing unborn children.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Feb. 24, 2022, Kruse was\u00a0charged<\/a>\u00a0by misdemeanor criminal information with two counts of violating the FACE Act.<\/span><\/p>\n

Misdemeanor violations of the FACE Act are punishable by up to one year in federal prison. Kruse will be sentenced on Jan. 5, 2023 by U.S. District Court Judge Ann L. Aiken.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of his plea agreement, Kruse has agreed to pay restitution in full to Planned Parenthood as identified by the government prior to sentencing and ordered by the court.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FBI investigated the case with assistance from the Grants Pass Police Department. It is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Gavin W. Bruce and John C. Brassel for the District of Oregon, and Trial Attorney Cameron A. Bell for the Department of Justice\u2019s Civil Rights Division.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1994, Congress passed the FACE Act in response to an increase in violence toward patients and providers of reproductive health services. The FACE Act prohibits violent, threatening, damaging and obstructive conduct intended to injure, intimidate or interfere with an individual\u2019s right to seek, obtain or provide reproductive health services.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you or someone you know is in danger, please call 911.<\/span><\/p>\n

Suspected violations of the FACE Act can be reported to the FBI by calling\u00a01-800-225-5324 (1-800-CALL-FBI) or by visiting\u00a0tips.fbi.gov<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
