US Edition‘It’s Just so Disgusting’: Judges in WA Detail Threats After Trump-Related Rulings
KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, AUG 8 – Federal judges have faced over 10 threats linked to rulings against Trump policies, prompting increased safety measures amid rising intimidation, officials said.
- Seattle Judge John Coughenour and his family were targeted with serious threats, including a swatting hoax and a false bomb alert at their home, following his decision opposing a Trump administration policy earlier this year.
- These attacks followed Coughenour calling Trump's birthright citizenship executive order blatantly unconstitutional amid a broader rise in threats against federal judges in the Trump era.
- Senior Judge Robert Lasnik and his grown children were targeted with unexpected pizza orders that alluded to the 2020 killing of Judge Esther Salas’s son, Daniel Anderl, as a form of intimidation directed at judges nationwide.
- Lasnik explained that the threatening message implied knowledge of the judges’ home addresses and family members, suggesting they could suffer harm similar to the tragic death of Judge Salas’s son, and he cautioned that attacks on judges have historically signaled the rise of authoritarian governments.
- Judges urged for a national call to action saying, "Not in this country," as they face intensified intimidation after blocking controversial Trump administration policies.
