Amid rising threats against judges, U.S. federal judges are contemplating the establishment of their own armed security force to enhance their protection. In response to these concerns, Democrats are advocating for legislation that would transfer control of the U.S. Marshals Service from the executive branch to the judicial branch, aiming to insulate judicial security from political influence. The push for greater security comes as lawmaker efforts intensify to safeguard judicial independence and address the growing risks faced by judges.
