Judge whose son was murdered urges leaders to end rhetoric

Season 2025 Episode 135 | 7m 16s

A report from the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism found threats and calls for impeachment against judges have risen by 327 percent between May 2024 and March 2025. One federal judge knows how real the violence can be. Judge Esther Salas’s son was killed by a disgruntled lawyer posing as a delivery driver at her home, according to police. Salas joined Amna Nawaz to discuss the threats.
