DHS Memo Warns of Violence by 'Extremists' After Roe v. Wade Decision: Reports

An unclassified memo from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is warning of the potential for violence after the Supreme Court hands down its decision in a major abortion case.

The memo, which was obtained by Axios and The Hill, was dated May 13 and comes after a leaked draft opinion appears to show the Supreme Court is poised to overturn the landmark abortion case.

The DHS’ Office of Intelligence and Analysis warns that violence could target abortion clinics, houses of worship, or the Supreme Court.

“Some of these threats discussed burning down or storming the US Supreme Court and murdering Justices and their clerks, members of Congress, and lawful demonstrators,” the memo states.
