Jueces se pronuncian sobre las amenazas a la independencia judicial

Dos jueces federales hablaron sobre las crecientes amenazas contra los juristas estadounidenses y sus familias en una conversación reciente.

El juez de distrito en funciones de EE. UU., Robert S. Lasnik, y el exjuez de distrito de EE. UU., Jeremy Fogel, abordaron el tema durante una entrevista. Señalaron un aumento en los incidentes en los que los jueces han sido víctimas de la revelación de datos personales, falsas alertas de emergencia o incluso asesinatos en los últimos años. Los jueces destacaron que, si bien las amenazas contra los juristas tienen una larga historia, la situación actual representa un territorio inexplorado debido a que tales acciones provienen del presidente y del Departamento de Justicia.
