Because of Trump and Musk
Bomb threats and intimidations: US judges worry about their security
Judges in the United States are becoming more and more a target – because of Donald Trump. Above all, those who act against the US President are particularly affected.
Be it in his deportations, dismissals or his plan to exclude transons from the military-US President Donald Trump is more and more confronted with judges in the recent past. Nobody surprised that he doesn’t like that. His verbal attacks were probably priced in with the lawyers. But now they also get headwind from the population. So much that you have to worry about your security.
This is reported, for example, the “New York Times” and the “Washington Post”. The “Times” reports in which the sister of the Supreme Court judge Amy Coney Barrett received an ominous email, in the statement that there is a pipe bomb in her mailbox, the detonation should be opened.
The woman called the police. As it turned out, the mail was a fake, but the sound was set: judges and their relatives should not feel safe.
“I feel as if people are playing roulette with our lives,” said judge Esther Salas of the “New York Times”. Her family had to experience what risks their profession can bring: in 2020 her son was shot by an “anti-feminist” lawyer. The thing with the “Russian Roulette” is “not an exaggeration,” she said. “I plead our leaders to recognize that it is about human life.”
Judges are increasingly threatened in the United States because of Donald Trump
Although the threats are still on a non -violent level, they still make an impression. For example, judges tell of cases in which there were also sudden operations from police teams at home in addition to bomb threats, even though they had not called the police at all. Pizza deliveries were also partially received – although no pizzas were ordered at all. The message behind such actions is perfidious, but impressive: we know where you live.
There are such cases throughout the USA ,. It is striking, however, that judges in particular are a target that are against plans by the Trump government. This makes no secret of the fact that she wants to get rid of unpleasant judges. Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said, for example, that some judges behave like “resistance fighters” whose aim is to slow down the government’s agenda.
Elon Musk also mixes with. The Trump consultant signals his support for the removal of unpleasant judges on his “X” platform. According to the Reuters news agency, these contributions would also have for.
