AG Fox Joins Effort to Protect Safety of Federal Judges
Nearly every state Attorney General in the U.S. has joined in an effort to support legislation to protect federal judges and their families from potential violence.
Montana’s outgoing Attorney General Tim Fox told KGVO News on Monday that he has signed on to the legislation.
“Since 1979, there have been numerous federal District Court and Circuit Court judges who ve been targeted and murdered just for doing their job essentially by deranged people, and most recently, not only the judges at risk, but their families and loved ones as well,” said Fox. “Earlier this year, a young man by the name of Daniel Anderel, who was the son of a federal District Court Judge that a deranged man who came to their home looking for the judge, shot both the young man and his father, but the father survived.”
