He avoided naming Trump or others directly, saying such hostility goes beyond legal criticism and is harmful. He did note that criticism of judicial decisions is normal, but personally directed hostility is unacceptable. U.S. District Judge Lee Rosenthal thanked him, saying judges know the Supreme Court has their backs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The U.S. Marshals Service reported 564 threats against judges in the latest fiscal year, up from the year before.

Trump called Boasberg a \u201cWacky, Nasty, Crooked, and totally Out of Control Judge\u201d and asserted Boasberg has suffered from \u201cTrump Derangement Syndrome\u201d for years.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Previously, Roberts publicly rejected Trump\u2019s demand for Boasberg\u2019s impeachment when Boasberg blocked additional deportations to a prison in El Salvador.
