Des juges s'expriment sur les menaces pesant sur l'indépendance de la magistrature

Deux juges fédéraux ont évoqué, lors d'un récent entretien, la montée des menaces à l'encontre des magistrats américains et de leurs familles.

Le juge fédéral de district en exercice Robert S. Lasnik et l'ancien juge fédéral de district Jeremy Fogel ont abordé la question au cours d'une entrevue. Ils ont souligné une augmentation, ces dernières années, des incidents au cours desquels des juges ont été victimes de doxing, de swatting, voire de meurtres. Les juges ont précisé que si les menaces visant les magistrats ne sont pas nouvelles, la situation actuelle est inédite car de tels actes émanent désormais du président et du ministère de la Justice.
