Federal judges across the United States are facing an unprecedented surge in threats to their safety, with U.S. Marshals Service data showing 564 threats against 396 judges in fiscal year 2025 alone — a dramatic escalation that judges and legal experts directly link to President Trump's inflammatory rhetoric labeling them "monsters," "lunatics," and "communist radical left judges." The crisis has prompted judges to consider creating their own independent security force, Chief Justice Roberts to issue extraordinary public defenses of judicial independence, and Congress to pursue legislation both to protect judges and, from the other side, to strip their powers.
