WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — The Biden Administration’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has warned that they expect the nation’s “threat environment to become more dynamic” as fate of Roe v. Wade hangs in the balance.
On June 7, the DHS released a National Terrorism Advisory System bulletin mentioning threats arising from the potential overturning of the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision, tensions over the the U.S.-Mexico border, and many other high-profile events.
The bulletin claims that pro-life supporters as well as pro-abortion activists have been encouraging violence.
“Given a high-profile U.S. Supreme Court case about abortion rights, individuals who advocate both for and against abortion have, on public forums, encouraged violence, including against government, religious, and reproductive healthcare personnel and facilities, as well as those with opposing ideologies,” it said.

In May, a leaked draft opinion which, if published, could overturn Roe v. Wade sparked a series of violent attacks against pro-life centers across America. Now, as the Supreme Court seems closer to publishing this report, the pro-abortion attacks have intensified.
A prominent pro-abortion vandal group, going by the name “Jane’s Revenge,” has claimed responsibility for several attacks of vandalism and arson as part of their “night of rage” in protest of the potential outlawing of abortion. In addition to pregnancy centers, the group is openly attacking churches.
Last week, the DHS reportedly notified Catholic bishops of credible threats to churches and members of the clergy if the U.S. Supreme Court opts to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Last month, the DHS raised the alarm about the likely escalation of violence by pro-abortion extremists, including attacks targeting clergy and places of worship, if the Supreme Court overturns Roe.

In the unclassified memo by the DHS’s intelligence arm, released May 13, the agency noted that law enforcement agencies are investigating violent threats as the Supreme Court prepares to hand down its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which concerns Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban.
Already, the radical group ShutDownDC has publicly called for demonstrators to block the streets around the Supreme Court on Monday, June 13, in the hopes of stopping the Supreme Court from overturning Roe v. Wade.
