"For weeks on end, large groups of protesters chanting slogans, using bullhorns, and banging drums have picketed Justices' homes in Virginia," Marshal Gail Curley wrote to Virginia Gov. "This is exactly the kind of conduct that Virginia law prohibits." Law enforcement, both federal and local, has been present at the justices' homes since the protests began. Marshals Service "accelerated the provision of around-the-clock security" at the justices' homes, according to the Department of Justice. A spokesperson for Virginia's governor said that Virginia law enforcement would continue to assist, but called on Garland to "do his job by enforcing the much more robust federal law."
