“War on Pro-Lifers”: FBI LINKS ACCOMPLICE to Attack!
Federal agents arrested Daniel Jongyon Park for aiding the Palm Springs fertility clinic bomber, linking him to a pro-extinction ideology and a major domestic terrorism case.
At a Glance
Daniel Jongyon Park, 32, was arrested in Poland for aiding a May 17 clinic bombing.
Park allegedly shipped over 270 pounds of ammonium nitrate to bomber Guy Edward Bartkus.
Both men espoused extremist anti-natalist and pro-mortalist ideologies.
Investigators found bomb-making materials and manifestos at Park’s home.
The FBI labels it one of Southern California’s largest bombing cases.
Extremist Motives and Deadly Plans
Daniel Jongyon Park, a Washington state resident, was apprehended overseas and transferred into FBI custody at JFK Airport for allegedly supporting the May 17 bombing of the American Reproductive Center in Palm Springs. The explosion injured four people and caused millions in damage. The primary suspect, Guy Edward Bartkus, died in the blast.
According to federal investigators, Park provided critical support, including purchasing and shipping more than 270 pounds of ammonium nitrate. Officials believe the bombing was ideologically motivated by a shared belief in anti-natalism and pro-mortalism—worldviews hostile to human reproduction and life itself.
U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli stated that Bartkus left behind a manifesto condemning pro-life values and organized religion, describing his views as a “war against pro-lifers.” Park is accused of embracing these beliefs, helping fund and coordinate the attack.

Evidence Trail and Global Pursuit
The FBI uncovered evidence linking Park to the plot during a search of his home, including materials matching those used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Agents also found documents detailing bomb-making techniques and anti-human ideology.
Special Agent Akil Davis described it as “one of the largest bombing investigations we’ve had in Southern California,” with damages reaching up to $12 million. Social media records show Park sharing extremist content, calling for human extinction and attempting to recruit others online.
Park fled to Europe four days after the bombing. Polish authorities detained him at the request of U.S. law enforcement. He now faces up to 15 years in federal prison for providing material support to a terrorist.
Political and Legal Fallout
Attorney General Pam Bondi condemned the act, stating, “Bringing chaos and violence to a facility that exists to help women and mothers is a particularly cruel, disgusting crime.” Park is being held in New York ahead of transfer to California, where prosecutors aim to keep him detained without bail.
Prosecutors say this case signals a growing threat from ideologically motivated domestic terrorists. “Domestic terrorism is evil and unacceptable,” said Essayli. “Those who aid terrorists can expect to feel the cold wrath of justice.”
As Park’s prosecution unfolds, law enforcement officials stress the need for vigilance against emerging extremist ideologies—and warn that the fertility clinic bombing may be a harbinger of more targeted ideological violence in the U.S.
