Judges call out rising acts of violence against the judiciary, slam Trump's 'irresponsible rhetoric'

Judges Esther Salas and John Jones III are sounding the alarm about escalating threats against the judiciary, following a tragic incident where Salas' son was killed by someone targeting her. Their warnings highlight the dangerous trend of violence linked to judicial figures, partly fueled by what they see as irresponsible rhetoric from political leaders. This issue underscores the critical need to protect the independence and safety of the judiciary, which is fundamental to the rule of law and democratic governance.
