Pro-abortion protesters dressed as characters from “The Handmaid’s Tale” marched outside Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s home in the Washington, D.C. suburb of Falls Church, Virginia, Wednesday night.
The crowd was much smaller than the groups of protestors who marched to the houses of Justices Brett Kavanaugh, John Roberts, and Samuel Alito on Saturday and Monday, consisting of seven marchers.
The ongoing protests come on the heels of a statement by the Justice Department announcing increased security for the justices.
“Attorney General [Merrick] Garland continues to be briefed on security matters related to the Supreme Court and Supreme Court Justices,” Anthony Coley, a Department spokesman, said. “The Attorney General directed the U.S. Marshals Service to help ensure the Justices’ safety by providing additional support to the Marshal of the Supreme Court and Supreme Court Police.”
