"We need to understand that judges are at risk,” Judge Esther Salas told "60 Minutes."
A federal judge whose son was killed and husband shot during an attack at her home last year has issued renewed calls for the Senate to pass a bill boosting judicial security. U.S. District Court Judge Esther Salas told “60 Minutes” on Sunday that public servants on the federal judiciary were increasingly in danger amid a 400% surge in threats over the last five years. Salas’ son, Daniel, was shot and killed by Roy Den Hollander, a self-described “anti-feminist” lawyer who was aggrieved after a case that was presented before the judge. Hollander showed up to her home on July 19, disguised as a FedEx delivery driver, and opened fire on Daniel Anderl as he opened the door and later on Salas’ husband, Mark Anderl.More Related News
