Youngkin, Hogan ask Justice Dept. to halt protests at justices’ homes


Today, @GovernorVA and I sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland calling on the Department of Justice to provide adequate resources to keep the Supreme Court justices and their families safe amid ongoing protests at their homes. Demonstrations play out all the time outside the Supreme Court — without federal charges — while related cases are being argued inside. Winsome Earle-Sears (R), pointed the finger at Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Steve Descano, suggesting the liberal prosecutor should pursue charges under the state law. “This is just fundamentally wrong to have people showing up at the justices’ homes and trying to influence and intimidate them,” he said. On Fox, Youngkin noted that Virginia State Police “are at the ready” to help federal marshals and local law enforcement.
