Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett’s Sister Targeted in Pipe Bomb Threat

No bomb was found after an email threat referencing pro-Palestinian activism prompted a police investigation at Amanda Coney Williams' Charleston home.

Amanda Coney Williams, sister of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, received an email claiming a pipe bomb was placed in her mailbox in Charleston, South Carolina.
The threatening email referenced pro-Palestinian activism and detailed the purported bomb's construction, but no device was found during the investigation.
The email was sent on March 8, but Williams' husband reported it to authorities on March 10, leading to road closures and a police and FBI search of the area.
The incident highlights a broader rise in threats against federal judges amidst increasingly polarized political rhetoric.
Authorities are continuing their investigation, and the Supreme Court has not commented on the threat.
