New, higher fencing was installed outside the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., Wednesday night after the third day of protests over abortion rights. The 8-foot fence completely encircles the Supreme Court building.
Pro- and anti-abortion rights protesters first flocked to the high court Monday night, spurred by a leaked draft opinion that suggested Supreme Court justices are prepared to overturn Roe v. Wade, the decision that affirmed the right to an abortion nationwide.
Protesters returned Tuesday and Wednesday, and more demonstrations are expected in the coming weeks.
Capitol Police say they are preparing for any potential demonstrations.
So far, protests have been peaceful. Law enforcement installed bike rack-style fencing to separate pro- and anti-abortion rights protesters earlier this week.
Police haven’t yet released information on the fence. It’s unclear how long it will stay up or if law enforcement has identified a specific threat.
The fence is similar to the one installed after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. That fence prohibited access to the U.S. Capitol grounds, which many District residents opposed.

protests or insurrection?
That is what I’m wondering. What will the left do?
exactly!
they are obviously trying to stop the court, that’s interfering and thus INSURRECTION according to the libs!
Abortion ALWAYS is a fallback reason for Demorats to mount up protests. They LOVE a rioteous nation.
Nancy Pelosi will be red faced with rage, saying that this is unacceptable, oh the irony.
And trouble that has nothing to do with abortion.
Wow, wonder if Deep State has decided it’s gonna stick around instead of settling for a 4 year loot-and-run on the public treasury...
Naw I’m thinking they will just knock the the fences down like they did during the antifa riots in portland.
Fences don’t work!
(but the libs sure like them, in some cases)
Depends on which side is doing the protesting.
Mainstream Media Memo - Never use the word “abortion” in a headline without the word “rights” attached.
I thought walls don’t work
Sounds like a real insurrection.
Compare and contrast to old ladies with walkers being invited in to the Capital.
Protesting isn’t going to fix this if Deep State decides to drop the fig leaf.
Who stay between the velvet rope lines...
English please.
Fences and walls are useless. At least that’s what leftists told us.
New fence is chain link panels. On Monday night right after publication of the leak, a ‘bike rack’ style fence was put up around the SC building.
