President Donald Trump of the United States on Thursday unveiled a task force to eradicate anti-Christian bias in government, intensifying a right-wing crackdown since returning to power.
The President said he was putting new Attorney General Pam Bondi at the head of the force to end persecution of the majority religion of the United States.
According to him, the mission of the task force would be to immediately halt all forms of anti-Christian targeting and discrimination in the Department of Justice, the Internal Revenue Service, the FBI and other government agencies.
Trump also said the task force would prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism.
“We will protect Christians in our schools, in our military and our government, in our workplaces, hospitals and in our public squares,” Trump said.
