US Judges Face Rising Violence Amid Trump, Musk Attacks
Following warnings from the US Marshals Service of heightened threat levels, federal judges are experiencing increased alarm over their safety. Elon Musk and Trump allies have launched aggressive campaigns to discredit judges issuing rulings against White House efforts to slash federal jobs and programs, including online attacks and calls for impeachment. This escalation of rhetoric has led to a rise in violent threats and intimidation tactics, such as anonymous pizza deliveries to judges’ homes. Legal experts warn that these actions jeopardize judicial independence, a cornerstone of American democracy. The situation has prompted heightened security measures for some judges, reflecting a serious concern for their well-being.
