โ€˜The kids were all just screaming. It was all just very scary and traumatic,โ€™ Ryan-Marie Houck described.

(LifeSiteNews) โ€“ A well-known pro-life author, sidewalk counselor, and father of seven was the latest victim of a U.S. Department of Justice-sponsored SWAT raid and arrest โ€” for supposed โ€œFACE Actโ€ violations โ€” at his rural home as his children looked on โ€œscreaming.โ€

Mark Houck is the founder and president of The Kingโ€™s Men, which promotes healing for victims of pornography addiction and promotes Christian virtues among men in the United States and Europe.

According to his wife Ryan-Marie, who spoke with LifeSiteNews, he also drives two hours south to Philadelphia every Wednesday to sidewalk counsel for six to eight hours at two different abortion centers.

Ryan-Marie, who is a homeschooling mother, described how the SWAT team of 25 to 30 FBI agents swarmed their property with around 15 vehicles at 7:05 a.m. this morning. Having quickly surrounded the house with rifles in firing position, โ€œthey started pounding on the door and yelling for us to open it.โ€

Before opening the door, she explained, her husband tried to calm them, saying, โ€œโ€˜Please, Iโ€™m going to open the door, but, please, my children are in the home. I have seven babies in the house.โ€™ But they just kept pounding and screaming,โ€ she said.

When he opened the door, โ€œthey had big, huge rifles pointed at Mark and pointed at me and kind of pointed throughout the house,โ€ Ryan-Marie described.

When they came in, they ordered the kids to stay upstairs. โ€œOur staircase is open, so [the kids] were all at the top of the stairs which faces the front door, and I was on the stairs as well, coming down.โ€

โ€œThe kids were all just screaming. It was all just very scary and traumatic,โ€ she explained.
