NextImg:Supreme Court Grounds Evacuated Over ‘Suspicious Package’ Near Courthouse

Law enforcement cleared the area in front of the Supreme Court on Thursday due to a “suspicious package” near the courthouse.

Supreme Court Police and U.S. Capitol Police cleared protesters and others from the front of the courthouse and sidewalk. On Thursday morning, the court released it’s highly-anticipated opinion on a challenge to race-based admissions at universities, broadly outlawing the practice known as affirmative action.

“We are assisting the Supreme Court Police with a suspicious package. Out of an abundance of caution, we are also helping keep the area clear. We cannot provide further information about another agency’s case, but we will keep the community updated about our involvement,” the U.S. Capitol Police reported on social media. Authorities also closed down street access.

Authorities did not give specifics about the “suspicious package,” though Fox News’ Chad Pergram reported that the order to evacuated the Supreme Court area was given after a protester threw “water bottle and bag over the protective fence around the Court.”

“That’s why Supreme Court/USCP swung into action. Treating this as a suspicious package,” Pergram said.
