Judges Face Threats, Harassment After Trump's Attacks | JQJO

Federal judges are facing a surge in threats and harassment, including pizza deliveries to their homes in the name of Judge Esther Salas' deceased son, Daniel Anderl. This follows a 2020 attack on Salas' home. Judges, including Salas, McConnell, Coughenour, and Lasnik, have reported threats, including death threats and doxing. They attribute the escalation to inflammatory rhetoric from former President Trump and his allies against judges who rule against them. The judges fear that such rhetoric incites violence and call for an end to the demonization of the judiciary.
