Attorney General Merrick Garland told a U.S. Senate panel on June 9 that the threats to the safety of federal judges are a “dangerous problem” and a “serious threat” amid a rise in domestic extremism, while calling for more funding for judicial security.
Garland made the remarks in testimony before the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies, in the context of the Justice Department’s (DOJ) fiscal year 2022 budget request.
