The US Marshals Service has alerted federal judges about heightened threats, particularly due to the vocal criticism from tech billionaire Elon Musk and allies of Donald Trump. These individuals have been publicly challenging judges who rule against the administration's efforts to drastically reduce federal employment and programs. Musk's extensive social media denunciations of judges have reportedly contributed to rising security concerns and an increase in threats against judges, signaling a dangerous environment that threatens judicial independence and, by extension, democracy itself.
In recent weeks, Musk and other Trump allies have called for judges' impeachment, amplifying threats against officials who oppose White House actions on federal downsizing.
Federal judges report heightened security concerns and an increase in violent threats, reflecting a troubling climate of political pressure on the judiciary.
