Threats against federal judges are on a record-setting pace this year, nearly 18 months after the family of a federal judge was killed in Chicago. This year alone, the U.S. Marshals Service has had 822 reports of inappropriate communications and threats, a pace that would top 1,000 for the year. The rise in civil lawsuits, especially those filed by people who do not have lawyers, and a change in criminal cases in federal courts helps explain the rise, Marshals say.

Threats against federal judges are on a record-setting pace this year, nearly 18 months after the family of a federal judge was killed in Chicago.
U.S. Marshals, who protect the nation’s 2,200 federal judges, believe they averted another potential tragedy in the Midwest last year when they helped block the release of a prison inmate who told a judge in a series of sexually charged letters that he was going to take her away.
