A key suspect in the bombing of an IVF clinic in Palm Springs, California, has been extradited from Poland and arrested on his arrival at New York's JFK International Airport. Daniel Jongyon Park, 32, is now in federal custody.
The Trump administration helped secure the extradition and arrest of a US citizen in Poland who is suspected of helping to secure explosives for the death cult member who detonated a car bomb outside a California fertility clinic last month, officials said.
Daniel Jongyon Park, 32, was taken into federal custody Tuesday night at JFK International Airport after he was escorted from Poland, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Attorney General Pam Bondi helped ensure Park’s extradition this week while she was visiting Poland, where Park had fled four days after the deadly May 17 attack on the American Reproductive Centers in Palm Springs, Axios reported.
Park had been detained in Poland for two weeks before Bondi arranged for his return to the US, according to the outlet.
“Bringing chaos and violence to a facility that exists to help women and mothers is a particularly cruel, disgusting crime that strikes at the very heart of our shared humanity,” Bondi said in a statement.
Park will be facing both federal and state charges.
He allegedly provided material support to Bartkus, who was identified as a suicide bomber in a criminal complaint unsealed Wednesday, according to Axios.
Bartkus posted about being part of a death cult and claimed that having kids is morally wrong because babies don’t “consent” to be born.
The 25-year-old was blown to bits in the explosion.
Five others were hurt in what authorities described as an “intentional act of terrorism.”
What's not clear is whether Park is a member of the same "death cult" as Bartkus.

This was an act of terrorism, pure and simple, and while the actual attacker, Guy Bartkus, helpfully changed his pronouns to "over here" and "over there," Mr. Park has a lot to answer for as well. The reports say he provided "material support" and that he is "suspected" to have helped Bartkus procure explosives. Since Guy Bartkus self-deleted, presumably Park will be facing first-degree murder charges.
The supposed motivation for this is puzzling. Guy Bartkus described himself a a "pro-mortalist," meaning, pro-death, and whined that his parents didn't seek his consent before his birth. It's not at all clear how Bartkus thought that was supposed to work; at what point must this consent be obtained and recorded? At birth? At conception? At the glint in the parents' eyes? Guy Bartkus, we can presume, was deeply mentally ill and should have probably been in an institution. As for Daniel Park, we are left to wonder what possible motivation caused him to render assistance, and then flee afterwards rather than offering himself up for the ultimate proof of his "pro-mortalism."
We can hope that Daniel Park will end up facing a prison sentence long enough to make him wish he had been in the car with Guy Bartkus. The only good thing to come out of this is that, while several people were hurt, nobody but the suicide bomber Bartkus was killed in this terrorist attack.
