In light of escalating threats, judges are urging Congress to allocate additional funds for court security. The judicial branch has raised concerns that its current budget compromises judge safety, particularly as 67 judges are undergoing enhanced online security screening due to their involvement in high-profile cases. Key lawmakers, including Padilla and Schiff, have requested an investigation into the increasing dangers faced by judges. With a spending freeze hindering resources, the judiciary stresses the urgent need for financial support to address these security risks.
