President Donald Trump will sign an executive order today establishing a task force focused on ending the weaponization of the government against Christians, the president announced Thursday morning.
Attorney General Pam Bondi will chair the “Task Force to End the War on Christians,” according to a fact sheet on the executive order shared with The Daily Wire. It will also be made up of members of Trump’s cabinet and government agencies. It will review the activities of all agencies and departments, find any anti-Christian policies and practices, and eliminate them.
“To confront such weaponization and religious persecution, today I’m signing an executive order to make our attorney general … the head of a task force, brand new, to eradicate anti-Christian bias,” Trump announced at the National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday morning. “About time right? Anti-Christian bias.”
The task force will also address any gaps in laws and their enforcement that might have contributed to anti-Christian measures — including failure by authorities to enforce laws that prohibit anti-Christian violence or vandalism. And it will offer recommendations for more presidential or legislative actions to protect American religious liberty or fix past wrongs to Christians.

The White House fact sheet stresses that the Biden administration aggressively targeted peaceful Christians while ignoring anti-Christian violence and offenses.
This includes the Biden Justice Department bringing felony charges and multi-year prison sentences against almost two dozen pro-life Christians who prayed and peacefully demonstrated outside abortion clinics, while ignoring the hundreds of pro-abortion attacks on Catholic churches, charities, and pro-life centers.
Since the leak of the draft Supreme Court opinion indicating that Roe v. Wade would soon be overturned, there have been 318 attacks on Catholic Churches throughout the United States and 96 attacks on pregnancy centers, many of them by pro-abortion vandals who spray paint messages such as “If abortions aren’t safe than neither are you.”
The Biden Justice Department’s focus on Christians also includes the 2023 FBI memo suggesting infiltration of Catholic churches as “threat mitigation” to surveil traditional Catholics, the White House fact sheet notes.
Trump pardoned 23 of the pro-life activists targeted by the Biden Justice Department on his fourth day in office.
“They should not have been prosecuted,” Trump said as he signed the order. “Many of them are elderly people. They should not have been prosecuted. This is a great honor to sign this.”
One of those activists was present Thursday at the National Prayer Breakfast, which Trump noted in his remarks. “You enjoy your life,” he joked to the elderly pro-life activist.
