Subject: Trump's goons threaten judges
Judges Fear for Their Safety Amid a Wave of Threats
What Happened: Federal judges increasingly face threats and intimidation, particularly those overseeing cases challenging Trump’s policies. Recent incidents include bomb threats, swatting attacks, and doxxing of judges' family members. Trump’s call to impeach Judge James Boasberg, who ruled against his deportation policy, sparked online attacks, with some Trump allies targeting his family.
Why It Matters: Trump’s attacks on judges fuel threats and endanger judicial independence. Legal experts warn of a chilling effect on the courts and the risk of real-world violence. This is how authoritarian regimes silence the judiciary.
