Maryland Police Prepared to Help Secure Supreme Court Justices' Homes

Police officers in Maryland are prepared to help provide security for Supreme Court justices, Gov. Larry Hogan's office says.

Both the Maryland State Police and the Maryland Center for Analysis & Coordination are closely coordinating with federal and local partners, including the Supreme Court Police and the Montgomery County Police Department, he added.

Pro-abortion groups have been gathering outside their homes in recent days after a draft opinion authored by Alito was released, indicating the court is poised to overturn its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.

The Supreme Court has not commented on the protests.

Macaulay Porter, a spokeswoman for Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin, told The Epoch Times over the weekend that state police there are monitoring the protests to make sure the justices are safe.

"The governor is aware and Virginia State Police will monitor the situation," Porter said, adding that the police "Will assist federal and local law enforcement as needed to ensure the safety of our citizens, including Supreme Court justices, who call Virginia home."

Protests at all six of the homes are planned for May 11 by a group called Ruth Sent Us. The group, which supports abortion, has said the protests will be peaceful.
