() A U.S. district judge says people are delivering pizzas to her home under the name of her son who was murdered in 2020.

In an appearance on NBC News, Judge Esther Salas said she and some colleagues have received the pizzas following President Donald Trump’s criticism of judicial members.

In a 2022 interview on Fox News, Salas urged Congress to pass the Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Act named after her son which would boost security for federal judges and place restrictions on the distribution of federal judges’ personal information.

“The fact of the matter is, I do have to say that the rule of law is not different for Republicans. The rule of law is not different for Democrats,” Salas told Fox host John Roberts. “The rule of law is what this country has been founded on, and we as judges, our democracy, it mandates that we pass the Daniel Anderl bill and do it now. Enough is enough.”

“I think that members of Congress can see the escalation in the numbers of threats against judicial officers,” Salas said. “It’s just got to stop.”

Salas has been outspoken about increasing protection for judges since the 2020 attack on her home carried out by a man who described himself as an “anti-feminist” that killed her son and critically injured her husband.
