‘Night of Rage’ follows Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade

A “Night of Rage” promised by pro-abortion terrorist group Jane’s Revenge, though milder than anticipated, involved skirmishes with police. It began shortly after the Supreme Court issued its final opinion in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case on Friday, overturning the infamous 1973 Roe v. Wade abortion decision legalizing abortion throughout the U.S. Jane’s Revenge had called on supporters “to paint, to burn, to cut, to jam.”

On May 31, Jane’s Revenge issued a communique calling for violence against pro-life organizations and instructing followers to carry out a “Night of Rage” once the Supreme Court released the Dobbs opinion. The message was downloaded by an anarchist website and referred to the overturning of Roe as “an event that should inspire rage,” adding the threatening message, “If abortion isn’t safe, you aren’t either. We are everywhere.” On June 17, Jane’s Revenge ‘Night of Rage” flyers were plastered around D.C. calling for supporters to riot.

The morning of June 25, a day after the Court issued its ruling overturning Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, a message posted to the Jane’s Revenge blog read, “And for the allies of ours who doubt the authenticity of the communiqués and actions: there is a way you can get irrefutable proof that these actions are real. Go do one of your own. You are already one of us. Everyone with the urge to paint, to burn, to cut, to jam: now is the time. Go forth and manifest the things you wish to see. Stay safe, and practice your cursive. —Jane’s Revenge.”  It appears to be a shortened version of a previous message.

A tweet which includes the blog link, published by the Twitter handle Indigenous Action, tells Jane’s Revenge supporters to “[f]ind each other and stay dangerous.” A separate tweet suggests protesting on July 4. It reads, “I am absolutely disgusted, and we as citizens should be angry. This affects more than just abortions, and it’s NEVER been about the babies. Make July 4th a day of protest not celebration for a pathetic nation. Be loud and fight. #JanesRevenge”

Below is an hour-by-hour recap of what was shared on social media on the night of the Dobbs decision. Note that Live Action News has not independently confirmed every alleged incident as reported, from Friday, June 24 through the morning hours of June 25.

A memo from the Diocese of Stockton in California claimed to have spoken to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) warning about Jane’s Revenge threats that could impact churches. From Newsweek:

An internal document obtained by Newsweek outlines intelligence shared by the Department of Homeland Security with the Catholic Church of a planned “Night of Rage,” targeting churches and pregnancy centers over their opposition to abortion rights. The document sheds light on how law enforcement and the church are bracing for backlash after a leaked opinion showed the Supreme Court preparing to rescind federal abortion rights.

Labeled an “urgent memo,” the document is from the Diocese of Stockton, California, and is directed to all clergy, as well as parish and pastoral staff. The memo states that Jesse Rangel, a DHS agent, told the diocese that federal law enforcement has discovered a manifesto from an “extremist group” calling for attacks on churches beginning at 8 p.m. the evening the court issues its opinion.

According to the National Catholic Register:

A memo from the Diocese of Stockton shows that the diocese is directing its clergy, parish staff, religious, and pastoral center staff to prepare for possible disturbances to churches. A June 24 risk advisory from the Archdiocese of Boston, sent before the Dobbs decision’s release, shows that the archdiocese is taking similar precautions. “We would like to emphasize that there have been no direct threats received; however, we encourage all parishes and institutions to elevate their awareness and be prepared by taking the following precautions.

DHS issues warning of weeks of threats

The Department of Homeland Security Office of Intelligence and Analysis released a memo warning that federal and state officials, including judges, could be targeted by domestic violent extremists (DVEs), and added that that DVEs may also target pregnancy resource centers and houses of worship.

The memo warned that violence following the Court decision could go on for weeks: “We expect violence could occur for weeks following the release, particularly as DVEs may be mobilized to respond to changes in state laws and ballot measures on abortion stemming from the decision. We base this assessment on an observed increase in violent incidents across the United States.”

“Since May, at least three arson attacks targeting pregnancy resource centers in Oregon and New York and a family advocacy group’s headquarters in Wisconsin have been claimed by ‘Jane’s Revenge,'” the memo stated.

“In late May, a network of loosely affiliated suspected violent extremists, known as ‘Jane’s Revenge‘—which has been linked to arson attacks against the buildings of ideological opponents—shared a post online encouraging a ‘night of rage’ following the Supreme Court announcement, stating, ‘we need the state to feel our full wrath’ and ‘we need them to be afraid of us.’ An individual is now awaiting trial for a plot in June to kill a US Supreme Court Justice in response to the draft opinion. A separate incident in Michigan involved vandalism claimed by ‘Jane’s Revenge’ on a building that houses a US Representative’s campaign office and a pro-life advocacy group,” DHS memo also stated, adding, “We are aware of at least 11 incidents of vandalism threatening violence targeting religious facilities perceived as being opposed to abortion, and one threat to ‘bomb’ and ‘burn’ a church in New York. These incidents of vandalism against faith-based organizations could indicate future targets of DVE attacks.”
