Pro-abortion extremists are reportedly threatening to burn down the Supreme Court building and murder justices and the clerks, prompting law enforcement to ready itself for political violence should Roe v. Wade be overturned.
A May 13 Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memo obtained by Axios revealed that government officials are investigating threats to the justices, the clerks, to places of worship, and to abortion clinics.
The memo references threats that came after someone, possibly a clerk, leaked a draft opinion indicating Roe v. Wade will likely be overturned.
These threats “are likely to persist and may increase leading up to and following the issuing of the Court’s official ruling,” the memo said.
Axios reported that the memo attempts to link the pro-life movement to white supremacy, highlighting pro-life violence in the past. But the memo emphasizes that the extremist acts might come from pro-abortion individuals.
“The mere advocacy of political or social positions, political activism, use of strong rhetoric, or generalized philosophic embrace of violent tactics does not constitute domestic violent extremism or illegal activity and is constitutionally protected,” the memo adds, according to Axios.
A DHS spokesperson told The Daily Wire on Wednesday: “DHS is committed to protecting Americans’ freedom of speech and other civil rights and civil liberties, including the right to peacefully protest. DHS is also committed to working with our partners across every level of government and the private sector to share timely information and intelligence, prevent all forms of violence, and to support law enforcement efforts to keep our communities safe.”
POLITICO broke the news May 2 that the Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark decision, reporting that Justice Samuel Alito had written an opinion draft that is an “unflinching repudiation” of Roe v. Wade.

Sounds somewhat insurrectiony or something
January 6th, I give you May 13th!
Its not insurrection when murderous democrats do it. Do I really have to put the /sarc?
So, it’s insurrection then?
They’re gonna need a lot of matches...
Sedition.
democrats don’t feel their form of human unless killing and burning
Sounds like these threats violate several laws. However, the Biden DOJ...crickets.
They're gonna sit on their hands because violent threats AND VIOLENT ACTIONS from democrat groups get a pass.
Eff 'em...
==========================
I agree completely that the Biden people, DOJ, etc....are taking no action but I must ask again....
WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS????
Why aren't they holding press conferences.....announce all this stuff was found, keep it in front of the public eye?
It gets bad when your own political party doesn't fight back.
Liberalism and communism are a form of mental illness! If they were dogs, they would be put down, but, since they’re Democrats, they’ll probably get a reward.
If the leftists on the court were being threatened, and DHS was monitoring the activities, none of that would be public knowledge. Seems the leftists in the government are quite fine with letting it be publicly known that conservatives (and even moderates) are at risk of personal attacks.
“It gets bad when your own political party doesn’t fight back.”
Some are. But you’d think they’d all be raising the roof on this, as it is campaign gold!
They are infiltrating PTA across the country to protect school boards. The rest of their time is spent combing social media for anyone remotely tied to Jan 6. Someone actually threatening to kill Supreme Court Justices is not nearly as important as finding those who strolled through Congress snapping selfies.
18 USC 115: Influencing, impeding, or retaliating against a Federal official by threatening or injuring a family member
MSNBC did that. Biden did that. Democrats did that. Chuckle Schumer did that. Joe Scarborough did that. —
At the very least.
Yep! ...and YEP!!! to your tagline.
