SHORT TITLE. ‘‘This subtitle may be cited as the ‘Daniel Anderl Ju- dicial Security and Privacy Act of 2022’. ‘‘SEC. 5932. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. ‘‘(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: ‘‘(1) Members of the Federal judiciary perform the important function of interpreting the Constitution of the United States and administering justice in a fair and impartial manner. ‘‘(2) In recent years, partially as a result of the rise in the use of social media and online access to infor- mation, members of the Federal judiciary have been exposed to an increased number of personal threats in connection to their role. The ease of access to free or inexpensive sources of covered information has con- siderably lowered the effort required for malicious actors to discover where individuals live and where they spend leisure hours and to find information about their family members. Such threats have in- cluded calling a judge a traitor with references to mass shootings and serial killings, a murder attempt on a justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, calling for an ‘angry mob’ to gather outside a home of a judge and, in reference to a judge on the court of appeals of the United States, stating how easy it would be to ‘get them’. ‘‘(3) Between 2015 and 2019, threats and other inap- propriate communications against Federal judges and other judiciary personnel increased from 926 in 2015 to approximately 4,449 in 2019. ‘‘(4) Over the past decade, several members of the Federal judiciary have experienced acts of violence against themselves or a family member in connection to their Federal judiciary role, including the murder in 2005 of the family of Joan Lefkow, a judge for the United States District Court for the Northern Dis- trict of Illinois. ‘‘(5) On Sunday July 19, 2020, an assailant went to the home of Esther Salas, a judge for the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, impersonating a package delivery driver, opening fire upon arrival, and killing Daniel Anderl, the 20-year- old only son of Judge Salas, and seriously wounding Mark Anderl, her husband. ‘‘(6) In the aftermath of the recent tragedy that oc- curred to Judge Salas and in response to the contin- uous rise of threats against members of the Federal judiciary, there is an immediate need for enhanced security procedures and increased availability of tools to protect Federal judges and their families. ‘‘(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this subtitle is to im- prove the safety and security of Federal judges, includ- ing senior, recalled, or retired Federal judges, and their immediate family members to ensure Federal judges are able to administer justice fairly without fear of personal reprisal from individuals affected by the deci- sions they make in the course of carrying out their public duties. ‘‘SEC. 5933. DEFINITIONS. ‘‘In this subtitle: ‘‘(1) AT-RISK INDIVIDUAL.—The term ‘at-risk indi- vidual’ means— ‘‘(A) a Federal judge; ‘‘(B) a senior, recalled, or retired Federal judge; ‘‘(C) any individual who is the spouse, parent, sib- ling, or child of an individual described in subpara- graph (A) or (B); ‘‘(D) any individual to whom an individual de- scribed in subparagraph (A) or (B) stands in loco parentis; or ‘‘(E) any other individual living in the household of an individual described in subparagraph (A) or (B).
