AG Merrick Garland said he was not aware of guidelines given to the US Marshals Service to 'avoid' arresting protesters outside the homes of SCOTUS justices in the fallout of a leaked opinion that signaled the eventual overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said Tuesday he was not aware of guidelines given to the U.S. Marshals Service to"avoid" arresting protesters outside the homes of Supreme Court justices in the fallout of a leaked opinion that signaled the eventual overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Garland said he was unaware of such instructions and that he previously gave marshals permission to make arrests. “We are trying to protect the lives of justices. That is our principal priority,” Garland said on March 1. “Decisions have to be made on the ground about what is the best way to protect those lives.”
