People trying to intimidate federal judges have had pizzas delivered to their homes using the name of the murdered son of a federal judge from New Jersey, she said.
In an appearance on NBC News, Judge Esther Salas said she and some colleagues, as well as their adult children, have received the pizzas, following comments by President Donald Trump heavily criticizing members of the judiciary.
The receipts indicated they were ordered by her deceased son, Daniel Anderl.
Anderl was shot to death at the judge’s North Brunswick home in 2020 by a man who was a self-described “anti-feminist lawyer” had a case before Salas. Salas’ husband, Mark Anderl, was shot and wounded.
“What does that say to those judges?” Salas said. “It says I know where you live. I know where your kids live. And do you want to end up like Judge Salas? Do you want to end up like her son? These are unprecedented attacks on judicial officers.”
