Durbin calls on DOJ to investigate anonymous pizza deliveries to judges' homes

Senate Judiciary Committee Democrat Dick Durbin urged Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel to investigate anonymous pizza deliveries sent to judges' homes.

"In recent months, federal judges and their relatives have received anonymous deliveries to their homes," Durbin wrote in a letter to Bondi and Patel on Tuesday. "These deliveries are threats intended to show that those seeking to intimidate the targeted judge know the judge’s address or their family members’ addresses. The targeted individuals reportedly include Supreme Court justices, judges handling legal cases involving the Administration, and the children of judges. Some of these deliveries were made using the name of Judge Esther Salas’s son, Daniel Anderl, who was murdered at the family’s home by a former litigant who posed as a deliveryman."

"These incidents threaten not only judges and their families, but also judicial independence and the rule of law," Durbin wrote. "It is imperative that the Justice Department (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) investigate these anonymous or pseudonymous deliveries and that those responsible be held accountable to the full extent of the law."
