§5936 VULNERABILITY MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY.

Summary

Allows the federal courts and law enforcement to run and grow programs that protect at-risk federal judges (including active, senior, recalled, retired judges and judges from Veterans Claims, Armed Forces Appeals, and the Tax Court) and their immediate families. They can watch over judges and court property, monitor websites and ask to remove or limit personal information, take in and analyze threat complaints and tell law enforcement, and provide training. The United States Marshals Service may add staff like intelligence analysts and deputy marshals, place people in state and city fusion/intelligence centers, boost analysts across the 94 judicial districts, and increase protective personnel for court security. If they learn of threats to others, they must, whenever possible, share that information with the right federal, state, or local agencies. The Department of Justice must, in consultation with the courts named, send a report to the Senate and House Judiciary Committees not later than 1 year after Dec. 23, 2022. The report must describe how many and what kinds of threats and assaults occurred, how threats are reported, what security steps are used (like threat checks, response plans, security systems, and firearms deputations), and who created each policy and when. The Attorney General can keep parts of the report secret if making them public would endanger an at-risk person.
