- DOJ sues pro-Palestinian protesters under FACE Act for 2024 synagogue demonstration — In September 2025, the Department of Justice sued pro-Palestinian activists who had protested a January 2024 event at a New Jersey synagogue promoting property sales in Israel and occupied West Bank settlements. This marked the first time the FACE Act was deployed against a demonstration at a place of worship. In late January 2026, the DOJ requested a federal judge indefinitely pause the civil lawsuit pending resolution of a related criminal investigation, while defense attorneys sought dismissal or case closure.
