House Republicans are demanding HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra restore religious liberty enforcement authority he rescinded for the department's office of civil rights.
"President Biden's Office for Civil Rights is attacking religious liberty," Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., said in a statement provided to Fox News.
"The right of each person to worship according to their conscience is one of our nation’s founding principles. Why is the Biden administration implementing policies that weaken religious liberty protections? … Secretary Becerra should be building on the steps taken by the Trump administration to ensure the department is fully complying with its constitutional and statutory obligations instead of weakening the department’s ability to protect religious liberties."
