US Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas warned that federal agencies have witnessed a “heightened threat environment” in the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent ruling to overturn Roe v Wade.
Speaking to CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday, Mr Mayorkas said: “We are very mindful that the Supreme Court’s decision in reversing and overturning Roe v Wade has really heightened the threat environment and we have deployed resources to ensure the safety and security of the Supreme Court and the justices.”
