Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett‘s sister Amanda Coney Williams received a bomb threat Monday, which came with the message, “Free Palestine.”
Barrett is the most recent Republican-appointed justice on the Supreme Court, nominated by President Donald Trump during his first term. Since her nomination, the court has ruled against federal abortion protections, affirmative action, and the Chevron doctrine, all of which Barrett was in the majority.
Williams is a lawyer in South Carolina. Police responded to an email reading, “I’ve constructed a pipe bomb which I recently placed in Amy Coney Barrett’s sister’s mailbox at her home. The device’s detonation will be triggered as soon as the mailbox is next opened. Free Palestine!” Officers did not find a bomb in Williams’s mailbox.
