Federal judges who have ruled against the #Trump administration this year are confronting a wave of threats, potentially compromising their personal safety and the independence of the #judiciary.

The sister of #SupremeCourt Justice #AmyConeyBarrett received a #BombThreat earlier this month, and lower court judges who hit pause on some of President Trump's efforts to dismantle federal agencies and programs have been singled out on #SocialMedia.

In Jan, #Engoron received a #BombThreat to his #LongIsland home, right before closing arguments for Trump’s #civil #fraud case were set to begin.

Last night #JudgeEngoron got a bomb threat.
