Revealing the “D.C. Five”: A Case of Alleged Federal Law Violations
In March 2022, pro-life activists made a disturbing discovery outside Washington Surgi-Clinic in the nation’s capital – the remains of five late-term aborted babies. Now, two years later, Republican Representatives Chip Roy of Texas and Andy Biggs of Arizona are pressing FBI Director Kash Patel to launch a full investigation into what they describe as potential federal crimes that were allegedly covered up during the Biden administration. The case, known as the “D.C. Five,” has raised serious concerns about enforcement of federal abortion laws and has become a rallying point for pro-life advocates across the country.
“Serious questions remain surrounding the deaths of these children,” stated Reps. Chip Roy of Texas and Andy Biggs of Arizona.
Potential Violations of Federal Abortion Statutes
At the heart of the controversy are allegations that D.C. abortionist Cesare Santangelo may have violated the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act of 2003 and the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act of 2002. The pro-life activists who discovered the remains described conditions and injuries suggesting that the babies may have been victims of illegal partial-birth abortions or were born alive during attempted abortions and left to die. Despite these serious allegations, the lawmakers claim that the Biden administration failed to properly investigate these deaths and instead focused on targeting the women who discovered the bodies.
The timing of the discovery was significant, coming shortly before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022. Roy and Biggs, who chair the Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government and the Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance respectively, have expressed outrage at what they view as a deliberate lack of enforcement of federal laws designed to protect infant lives. Their letter to Patel specifically requests a review of evidence by April 29 and a briefing on the FBI’s findings.
Administration Accused of Selective Law Enforcement
The lawmakers’ letter sharply criticizes the previous FBI leadership under Christopher Wray and the Biden administration, claiming they “departed from its core public safety mission, suffered from senior leadership failures, and refused any real transparency or accountability for its actions.” Roy has gone further, accusing the Biden-Harris administration of disproportionately targeting pro-life advocates under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act while ignoring potential violations by abortion providers.

The case has garnered significant attention from pro-life groups who hope that a proper investigation will expose alleged abuses in the abortion industry. Roy previously requested that the Biden Department of Justice preserve evidence related to the D.C. Five but reportedly received no response. With Kash Patel now leading the FBI, the congressmen express confidence that justice may finally be served. “I am confident the current leadership at the DOJ and FBI will take action to defend life in our nation’s capital and to ensure that these five babies receive justice,” Roy stated in the letter.
