MAGA is Bombarding Judges With Pizzas In ‘Intimidation’ Plot
The Daily Beast 3-4 minutes 5/11/2025
The nation’s justices are facing a bizarre new scourge of food delivery pranks they say are designed to intimidate them into not challenging President Donald Trump ‘s policies in court.
Federal judges told the Washington Post that pizza orders, possibly numbering in the hundreds , have been sent to the homes of jurists in at least seven states since Trump assumed office for the second time.
The stunts appear to eerily draw upon the 2016 Pizzagate conspiracy theory , an extremist MAGA claiming the existence of a Satanic pedophilia ring in the Democratic Party.
Many of the orders have turned up in the name of Judge Esther Salas’ son Daniel Anderl, who was murdered by an attorney disguised as a delivery driver in 2020. JONATHAN ERNST/REUTERS
Michelle Childs, a Washington Circuit Judge, told WaPo that she’d received no less than seven anonymous deliveries to her home since the beginning of February, with one arriving not long after she contributed to a ruling against the White House over firings at a government watchdog.
“It’s unsettling because I’d like to go to work every day, even with the hardest case, just feeling like there’s no sense of intimidation,” Childs said, adding, “You need a strong judiciary for the system to work. This is infringing on democracy generally.”
Some of the orders have turned up under the name of New Jersey District Judge Esther Salas’ son, Daniel Anderl—who was shot dead at their family home back in 2020 by a disgruntled attorney disguised as a delivery driver.
“It went from judges getting pizzas, to then judges’ children getting pizzas, to then judges getting pizzas that they didn’t order in my murdered son’s name,” Salas said, further describing the pranks as an act of “psychological warfare.”
With orders in her son’s name turning up at the homes of jurists in D.C., Rhode Island, New York, California, Tennessee, South Carolina, Maryland and Oregon, Salas believes the pranksters are using her son’s death as a warning.
“We know the first is, ‘I know where you live.’ Second is, ‘We know where your children live.’ And the third now is, ‘Do you want to end up like Judge Salas? Do you want to end up like Daniel?’” she said.
Victims of these pranks have reported their experiences to the Marshals Service, which has apparently now begun compiling testimonies and making efforts to track the deliveries.
Although the service reportedly declined to discuss the matter with WaPo in any detail, the Marshals Service for the Southern District of New York is understood to have sent out a cautionary memo to jurists in the area earlier in March. It confirmed that the anonymous deliveries did indeed appear to coincide with victims’ involvement in legal proceedings against the federal government.

LE could easily find the perps of these threats, but since they're mostly maga scum, nothing will happen ...
since due process is now out the window, dox the pizza perps and then let somebody give them pizza faces ...
Not so fun when the intimidation is on the other foot is it [ deleted? ]
[ ✘ ] Leftists/Democrats/Brandon Administration/Garland were OK with protesting directly outside of Supreme Court Justices homes. Their rhetoric lead to a failed assassination attempt against Justice Cavanaugh.
Maybe some Republican/Conservative politician should bring back Schumer's "reap the whirlwind" for the leftist Federal District Court judges who are overstepping their jurisdiction? I am sure the media would instantly decry that; and said Republican/Conservative politician would be forced out of office. Unlike good old Chucky boy who issued a faux apology that did nothing.
Democrats/leftists created this; and now are bitching about it.
Just be glad it is only pizzas and not [ deleted ] [ ✘ ] protesting right outside their residences.
1st Amendment ofd the Constitution says it is perfectly legal to peacefully assemble and protest on public property. Are you opposed to the Constitution Ronin?
Check the law regarding protesting at a judges residence
Are you claiming that a local law overrides the Constitution? Is that really the only thing you have???
Check the Constitution. The law is constitutional. This has been explained many times.
So 1st Amendment protections are suspended in front of a justice's house? That's what you believe???
No, I know the law is constitutional. This discussion was had many a time. Feel free to look up the Supreme Court case allowing jurisdictions to ban protests in front of private homes.
Then explain how the Constitution guarantees the right of peaceful assembly, but the law revokes that right on public property.
Not at all. Try reading 18 U.S. Code § 1507
First, I hope you understand the right to assemble is subject to regulation. You've presumably heard of permits for things like parades and picnics before, right?
But if you are still confused, please feel free to ask the Supreme Court. As I said, they decided the issue decades ago and it's not worth my time to look it up yet again.
Apples and oranges.
So, for the 12,495th time you are making a claim with nothing to substantiate it.
You should really heed your own advise...
18 U.S. Code Section 1507 prohibits picketing or parading near court buildings or residences of judges, jurors, witnesses, or court officers with the intent to interfere with, obstruct, or impede the administration of justice, or to influence them.
Instead of taking personal shots, why don't you just prove me wrong.? Make an argument for once based on evidence on something other than the juvenile "nun-unh"
It's an issue that's obviously been litigated. This might be your chance to finally win an argument. Find the Supreme Court case saying a local government can't ban demonstrations outside private homes. I can't wait to see what dreck you come up with.
What the hell do you think they do it for? You just shit on your own argument.
A perfect execution of that, at least.
Here's an even better idea... Why don't you include evidence that proves your claim is true, WHEN YOU MAKE THE CLAIM?!?!?!???
AND
Since you obviously weren't reading the comment string, I did provide the proof right here .
Do you ever research before spouting off????
They were protesting perceived corruption in SCOTUS, not attempting to influence them in a specific ongoing case.
Lol. Pay attention. If your "argument" (if we generously accept that's what it is) had any merit, than it would be illegal for the government to require permits for parades, or other protests. You understand that right? This issue is more complicated than simply saying "first amendment". For starters, you need to to understand the basic parameters of the first amendment and realize the government regulates speech all the time. Then you can get into the issue of what regulation is allowed. This discussion is more complicated than simply saying "first amendment" That's just the ante to get in the game.
And thus trying to influence..............
Now we are in the made up facts zone...
Even if that were true (and it is the most made up of made up claims) they would still be trying to influence the Judges to end corruption.
Influencing a judge to not be corrupt??????
Google can be your friend. Laws to prevent picketing outside a SCOTUS judge's home does not violate the First Amendment.
and
Why would it be necessary for anyone to go to the effort of looking up case law to prove that you are wrong when a) you're just going to ignore it anyway, and b) you already know the answer. Just Stop Oil was constantly holding "peaceful" assemblies on public property by blocking streets and freeways. You already know that's illegal and not constitutional. Any thinking person can come to the conclusion that while the Constitution guarantees the right to assembly, it says nothing about the right to do it anytime, anywhere or any way you feel like it.
Your argument doesn't seem to actually be based on the Constitution or the intent behind it. Rather, it just seems to rest on the idea that if you think your cause is justified enough then it permits you to do whatever you want while using the Constitution as an excuse.
And who gets to decide if they're corrupt? Mob rule?
Thanks for looking it up. In two months or so, the exact same discussion will take place.
Influence the judge to prove he is not corrupt, by voting the way they want.
Without an investigation, each person decides for themselves. You really don't understand that????
Ummm, in America we don't vote for Supreme Court Justices.
Moving the goal post. The question obviously relates to mobs protesting at people's homes. Obviously, such action can't be considered an investigation. Just harassment and intimidation.
Why so obtuse?
Nope. Directly answering your question.
The question is the one you asked.
" And who gets to decide if they're corrupt ? "
Have you already forgotten what you asked?
Just American citizens making use of their Constitutional right to peaceably assemble, and petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Except that you didn't. You changed the context to something else and answered that, as you do here...
In actuality, what I asked was...
The issue is protesting outside a Justice's home. The question was asked in that context. You changed it, which is moving the goal post.
Right, confirming my earlier assessment...
In other words, you're on board with groups like Just Stop Oil doing the things they do because you think those sorts of actions are Constitutionally protected. One thing I've learned is that there's no useful point in trying to have a conversation with people who think this is true. So...
Yes I did, and I even quoted your question providing a link directly to it. On the internet there is no such thing as backsies. Everything you post is documented, backed up and available if you know where to look.
Correct. You asked 2 questions and I answered 1 of them. But it is good for you to admit to what you asked so I can point out that I directly answered it.
I don't know who that group is, but yes if the actions are Constitutionally protected then every American should be supporting that group's actions.
If they are doing something illegal arrest them. Otherwise stop whining.
Trump is doing more to intimidate judges since he breaks the law and the law rules against him.
Roberts changing his tune because of the intimidation speaking to courts and judges to stand up for the law regardless.
MAGA just hears the dog whistle Trump plays and off they go on their own ill thought intimidation campaigns.
I wish Republicans would make up their minds on protecting judges regardless of court outcomes. They asked for increased security for judges when they were angry at perceived "liberals" protesting court decisions and it should be their priority now to protect judges who follow the law even when the law rules against Trump.

yeah, but not in maga nirvana ...
Are the pizzas paid for or do the judges have to pay for them?
Lol that's my question as well though I suspect it's not paid for at all and is just chalked up as a loss for the business
I agree, so free pizza for the judges and/or drivers. I'd take that kinda protest over swatting any day of the week...
unless it has anchovies on it, nobody would eat that
What about pineapple?
Pineapple on a pizza is awesome, only a philistine wouldn't like that:)
Canadian bacon and pineapple as toppings for a pizza, known as a Hawaiian pizza , is delicious.
Morning... Hawaiian pizzas are great..we also have an Aussie..
Tomato, bacon and egg...and naturally Vegemite ones too...
But unfortunately my pizza joint burnt down and they haven't rebuilt it yet, so I have got withdrawal symptoms...
Add jalapenos to it and you'll be in heaven. The taste mix of the sweet and spicy is great!!
Lol a Hawaiian with jalapenos is pizza sacrilege
But seriously the one thing about pizza is everyone can have whatever they want on it. No one is right or wrong
Gotta go game 4 of the Jets/Stars NHL playoffs is starting.
Pineapple on pizza is a sacrilege!
Call me a Philistine. I triple dog dare ya
So we can call you a Philistine, just don't call you late for dinner?
hehe
You got it!
Lol but only cause ya asked. Philistine.
Have you ever noticed there's no in between regarding pineapple it's either love it or hate it. Weird
was just scrolling online elsewhere and came across a pizza reel , it says the hawaiian pizza is a Canadian concoction, or thats where it originated ......
bloody hell, now there's an appetizing sight ...
Nota to NT Mods:
Please notice how quickly this conversation here was derailed from current menaces to judges to demonstrations in the past.
Deny, deflect, derail!
But it all has "value".
