DOJ Appeared to Minimize Leftist Role in Violent Pro-Abortion Attacks Ahead of ‘Night of Rage’
“We have demonstrated in the past month how easy and fun it is to attack,” Jane’s Revenge promised in a “communique” missive in mid June last year. “We are versatile, we are mercurial, and we answer to no one but ourselves. We promised to take increasingly drastic measures against oppressive infrastructures. Rest assured that we will, and those measures may not come in the form of something so easily cleaned up as fire and graffiti.” “It’s open season,” the militant group promised pro-lifers, “and we know where your operations are.”
Department of Justice officials appeared to minimize the threat of leftist violence as they prepared for the “Night of Rage” the night that Roe v. Wade was overturned, according to an email obtained by The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project. The email shows James Dunlap, former director of Security and Emergency Preparing Staff at the Department of Justice, updating personnel on the “Night of Rage” pushed by the militant abortion group, Jane’s Revenge, a group that has taken responsibility for a slew of violent attacks on pro-life groups and pregnancy centers.
Notably, Dunlap’s email does not mention Jane’s Revenge by name, nor does it mention that the groups perpetrating “arson and vandalism” are leftist, pro-abortion groups, despite the fact that lawmakers had called upon the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security to designate members of Jane’s Revenge as terrorists, and despite even the White House’s condemnation of Jane’s Revenge’s threats of violence.
