United States: Every day, hundreds of US federal judges must evaluate affidavits provided by federal agents and approve requests for search warrants.
The results of US Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart's decision to grant a search warrant, however, have been anything but ordinary.
Since authorizing the FBI to search the Mar-a-Lago property of former President Donald Trump earlier this month as part of an investigation into whether he improperly removed sensitive material from the White House, he has been put to death. threat has been received.
With anti-Semitic insults, Reinhart's home address was published on right-wing websites. Following the uproar, he frequently canceled Friday night Shabbat services at a synagogue in South Florida.

By condemning the discovery as political harassment and urging Reinhart to recuse himself from the case because of his former political donations to Democrats, Trump hasn't done much to calm things down among his supporters. However, Reinhart has also given to Republicans.
The threats against Reinhart are part of a larger campaign by Trump and his allies against law enforcement, particularly the FBI, in the wake of the discovery.

Experts caution that the spotlight on a judge, which usually comes amid increasing threats to the judiciary, is dangerous to the US rule of law and the nation's stability as a democracy.
In a statement issued recently in the wake of the discovery, US Second Circuit Judge Richard Sullivan, who serves as chairman of the Judicial Conference Committee on Judicial Security, said threats against judges performing constitutionally mandated duties "Attack on the very core of our democracy." "Judges don't have to worry about getting their job done in retaliation."
On Thursday, Reinhart was scheduled to preside over a hearing at the request of media outlets after the Justice Department requested a Mar-a-Lago search warrant.

The US Marshals Service issued the following statement in response to inquiries about the precautions taken to protect Reinhart and his family: "While we do not discuss our specific security measures, we continue to review measures and provide security. necessary to ensure the integrity of the federal judicial process."
However, the surprising thing is that the magistrate is being criticized continuously. The US Marshals Service settled 768 cases in 2014 for what it deemed "inappropriate communication" directed at judges and court personnel. It reported more than 4,500 last year.

According to Chief Justice Barbara Lynn of the Northern District of Texas, "almost everyone recognized how unreasonable it was to endanger the judge's life or safety because of disagreement with the judge's decision at one point." Now, I believe there are many people who do not believe that there is anything wrong with this.

Lynn Daniel Anderle is one of several judges advocating for the passage of the bill, which was created in honor of the 20-year-old son of District Judge Esther Salas. In 2020, a shooter broke into their New Jersey home and killed her.
His father was hurt. The bill would protect judges' personal information more, and is supported by organizations such as the American Bar Association and the National Association of Attorney Generals.

Protesters took to their homes later that month after conservative US Supreme Court justices overturned a 49-year-old ruling that women have a constitutional right to abortion.

Near the residence of Justice Brett Kavanaugh, police detained a man who had a knife, zip tie and a gun and claimed he intended to kill the conservative jurist. Congress approved funds to increase security at judges' homes and provide round-the-clock security to their families.
Matthew Weil, executive director of the Democracy Initiative at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington, DC, said Trump's initial presidential campaign, during which he personally criticized a judge who ruled against him in his now-defunct Trump University trial , changed. Rules governing threats and explosive rhetoric.

They changed what was acceptable in public discourse, so now there are dangers everywhere. According to Weil, both the right and the left have begun to threaten the judicial branch.
The most recent warning sign appeared last week after a search of Trump's Florida resort and executive office, Mar-a-Lago.

FBI agents seized 11 sets of classified data, according to court documents, in the course of looking into three different federal laws, including one under the Espionage Act governing the collection, transmission or loss of defense information.
Trump's accusation the government of abusing its authority by pursuing him, and his backers vented their anger online at the FBI and the Department of Justice. Authorities shot and killed an armed man who had threatened the FBI on Trump's Truth Social network after he attempted to storm the agency's Cincinnati office.

Trump stated on Monday that there should be less resentment toward the Mar-a-Lago raid or else "terrible things" would occur.
