There was a fertility clinic bombing in Palm Springs
A Bomb Explosion at the Palm Springs, Calif., Birthplace of a Fertility Center and the Heartbeat of America: Attorney General Pam Bondi
Bomb technicians were at the site over the weekend as part of the ongoing investigation by the Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said Saturday evening that she had been briefed on the explosion. She said in a post on X that the administration understands that women and mothers are the heartbeat of America and that violence against a fertility clinic is unforgivable.
The post said that this moment had shaken them but they had not stopped. “We will continue to serve with strength, love, and the hope that brings new life into the world.”
An explosion outside a Palm Springs, Calif., fertility clinic late Saturday morning killed one person, injured four others and sent debris flying for blocks in all directions in the city about 100 miles east of Los Angeles.
Palm Springs Police Chief Andrew Mills said Sunday that the public was not in any more danger. I’m absolutely certain that the city is safe. There is no continuing threat to our community as a result of this incident,” he said.
The FBI is investigating evidence that a child had an anti-natalism view of the birth of a baby, and that his father had been murdered by a bomb
The bomb was large and powerful enough to cause destruction, throw vehicles hundreds of feet in the air and cause blocks away. He wouldn’t speak about the type of materials used in the bomb.
The FBI is investigating evidence that is “indicating anti-natalist views”, according to Laura Eimiller. A belief system that suggests it isn’t good to have children is called anti-natalism.
The FBI said the Californian had nihilistic views and may have been an anti-natalist. The bombing of the clinic was considered to be an act of domestic terrorism by investigators.
The FBI’s Los Angeles Field is working through other technical means to positively identify the dead person, but they believe it to be Mr. Bartkus.
Barktus may have been trying to livestream the bombing. Davis said the 25-year-old had not previously appeared on the FBI’s radar but may have had encounters with law enforcement agencies.

Investigators said they were combing through online posts and other writings made by Bartkus. “The subject had nihilistic ideations, and this was a targeted attack against the IVF facility,” Davis said Sunday. Nihilism views existence as useless because of its rejection of values and beliefs.
According to Davis, officials were pretty confident that it was Bartkus that was found dead near the vehicle.
According to the FBI, the prime suspect in the bombing was Bartkus, who lived in Twentynine Palms, a town about 60 miles northeast of Palm Springs. Investigators said they had earlier executed a search warrant there.
In a news conference on Sunday, Davis of the FBI thanked the Palm Springs police and fire departments as well as FBI bomb technicians for working quickly to ensure that none of the embryos at the facility were lost.
Our mission has been to help build families and in times like these, we are reminded of just how precious life is.
The clinic posted a photo on Instagram of its badly damaged facade, with building materials and glass strewn across the road and black smoke and flames billowing from inside.
The blast cut through the American Reproductive Centers (ARC) fertility clinic, which has been operating in Palm Springs since 2006, according to its website.
Investigators said the size of the blast eclipsed that of the deadly 2018 bombing at an Aliso Viejo spa. “This was probably the largest bombing scene that we’ve had in Southern California,” said Akil Davis, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office.
There was an explosion on North Indian Canyon Drive in Palm Springs at around 11 a.m. and a debris field of 250 yards.
