As reported in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin on September 18, 2025, the federal judiciary’s policy-making body maintains a stopgap budget measure proposed by Republican lawmakers that would freeze funding for judicial security at its current level through November which would threaten the safety of judges and courthouses, In a news release issued during its annual meeting, the Judicial Conference of the United States said the situation will become worse if the freeze is extended for a full year. The Judicial Conference has already warned that funding for security is inadequate, especially in light of a rise in the number of threats against judges, and that budget shortfalls have forced courts to put off needed upgrades to security equipment.
