聯邦法官警告針對法院的威脅日益嚴重
Federal Judges Warn About Growing Threats Against the Courts
美國聯邦法官正面臨日益嚴峻的安全問題。
Federal judges in the United States are facing an alarming increase in safety concerns.
據美國法警局（ㄇㄟˇㄍㄨㄛˊㄈㄚˇㄐㄧㄥˇㄐㄩˊ）報告，在過去十年間，針對這些官員的威脅增加了兩倍以上。
Over the last decade, threats against these officials have more than tripled, as reported by the U.S.
這些威脅範圍從網路騷擾和虛假報警（ㄙㄨㄛˋㄊㄧㄥˋ），到針對法官及其家人的具體嚴重暴力威脅。
What was once considered an isolated incident has become an ordinary, yet dangerous, part of the job.
雖然過去的威脅多與個人法律糾紛有關，但現在卻常由激烈的政治兩極分化（ㄌㄧㄤˇㄐㄧˊㄈㄣˋㄏㄨㄚˋ）所驅動。
These threats range from online harassment and swatting to severe, specific calls for violence against judges and their families.
為了對抗這種情況，司法部門正實施增強安全措施，例如從網路移除個人資訊並提供24小時全天候安全警衛。
High-level political rhetoric that labels judges as corrupt for their rulings has contributed to an environment where intimidation is common.
首席大法官約翰·羅伯茲（ㄐㄩㄣˋㄓㄨㄥˇㄌㄨㄛˊㄅㄛˊㄗ）強調，儘管評論法律觀點是被允許的，但針對個人的敵意卻威脅到了司法分支的獨立性。
To combat this, the judiciary is implementing enhanced security, such as removing personal information from the internet and utilizing 24/7 security details.
最終，這些恐嚇手段危及了法治，因為它們可能導致法官不敢公正審判，而這對於美國民主的健全以及維持大眾對司法體系的信任至關重要。
Chief Justice John Roberts has emphasized that while critiquing legal opinions is acceptable, personally directed hostility threatens the independence of the judicial branch.
