Federal judges and state lawmakers are seen as the most likely targets of violence related to the Friday reversal of Roe v. Wade
The Department of Homeland Security is warning of potential violence by domestic violent extremists across the country in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn, according to a Friday memo obtained by ABC News. “We expect violence could occur for weeks following the release, particularly as DVEs may be mobilized to respond to changes in state laws and ballot measures on abortion stemming from the decision,” the bulletin said.
In their assessment, DHS said federal judges and state lawmakers would be the most likely targets for violence related to the ruling, as well as abortion rights protests, abortion clinics and family advocacy centers.
