The families of at least 11 judges who have ruled against Donald Trump’s administration have been targeted with threats and harassment, including sinister pizza deliveries, continuing an alarming trend related to the president and his legal troubles.
Tech mogul Elon Musk painted a target on the back of U.S. District judge James Boasberg’s daughter after the judge ruled last month that administration officials could face criminal contempt charges for deporting migrants in defiance of a court order, and Trump supporters lashed out, reported Reuters.
“The president’s supporters unleashed a wave of threats and menacing posts,” the outlet reported. “And they didn’t just target the judge. Some attacked Boasberg’s brother. Others blasted his daughter. Some demanded the family’s arrest – or execution.”

The same thing happened to U.S. District judge John McConnell’s family after he ruled that Trump had overstepped his authority by freezing federal grants for education and other services, and far-right influencer Laura Loomer tweeted a photo of his daughter, who had worked as a policy adviser for the U.S. Education Department, and Musk amplified that post to his 219 million X followers.
“Loomer continued her attacks with nine more posts in the ensuing days – and more than 600 calls and emails flooded McConnell’s Rhode Island courthouse, including death threats and menacing messages taunting his family, according to a court clerk and another person familiar with the communications.”
At least 60 judges or appeals courts have paused or blocked some of the Trump administration’s actions in his first 100 days back in office, and Reuters spoke to a dozen federal judges who expressed concern about the safety of their families or others involved in Trump-related cases.
“[These threats] are ultimately threats to constitutional government – it’s as simple as that,'” said U.S. Circuit judge Richard Sullivan, who chairs a security committee for the federal judiciary’s policymaking arm.
U.S. Marshals have been investigating a string of ominous Domino’s Pizza deliveries to the homes of U.S. Supreme Court justice Amy Coney Barrett, after she ruled against the administration’s freeze of foreign aid, and several other judges who have ruled against the administration.
“Reuters identified at least a dozen judges who, after ruling against the Trump administration, have had pizzas delivered to their homes by anonymous senders – a tactic law enforcement characterized as a form of intimidation meant to convey that a target’s address is known,” the outlet reported.
The pizza deliveries were ordered using the name Daniel Anderl, the late son of U.S. District judge Esther Salas who was killed by a disgruntled lawyer from a case heard by his mother.
The assailant had posed as a pizza delivery driver and fatally shot the 20-year-old and wounded the judge’s husband before killing himself.
“Another federal judge told Reuters that someone using his spouse’s name and email address arranged a pizza delivery to his home after he ruled against a Trump administration action in March,” the outlet reported. “His spouse was ‘alarmed and chilled’ that a stranger knew her personal information, the judge said.”
Marshals have reviewed security precautions at the spouse’s workplace and alerted local police, and the judges who spoke to Reuters say the president’s inflammatory rhetoric and highly personal attacks on the judiciary would eventually lead to violence.
“Somebody is going to get killed,” said the judge whose wife was targeted with a pizza delivery. “That’s where it all leads eventually, and I think that’s what we’re all terrified about.”
