Federal judges around the country are reporting an increase in violent threats issued in response to rulings that challenge President Donald Trump’s agenda.
The threats have become so extreme that 56 retired judges have formed a bipartisan group designed to lobby the Trump administration, particularly the president himself, to stop demonizing judges.
60 Minutes spoke to 26 sitting and retired federal judges—nine appointed by Democrats, 17 appointed by Republicans. The judges report feeling “under siege,” and many declined to appear on camera, citing safety concerns.
