Brett Kavanaugh assassination plot

Common card · No. 399731

On June 8, 2022, Sophie Roske (then known as Nicholas John Roske) traveled to the home of Brett Kavanaugh, an associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, with plans to break into Kavanaugh's home, kill him, and then kill herself. After arriving at Kavanaugh's residence and alerting on-site U.S. Marshals, Roske called the police on herself and was arrested. Roske told police she was frustrated with the leaked Supreme Court decision that was poised to overrule Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that guaranteed abortion as a right, as well as a recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, and the possibility of the Court loosening gun restrictions under the Second Amendment. On October 3, 2025, Roske was sentenced to over eight years in prison, as well as a lifetime of supervised release.
