Bill > HR5721

This bill, known as the "Protect Our Judiciary Act of 2025", amends Section 1507 of Title 18 of the United States Code to expand restrictions on picketing or parading near judicial buildings or residences. Specifically, the bill creates a new criminal penalty for anyone who knowingly pickets, parades, or demonstrates in or near a building or residence being used by a judge, juror, witness, or court officer, with potential consequences of a fine, imprisonment for up to one year, or both. The legislation appears to be aimed at protecting judicial personnel from potential intimidation or harassment by limiting protests and demonstrations in close proximity to their workplaces and homes. The bill modifies existing law by removing the previous language and inserting a more comprehensive prohibition on such activities, effectively creating a new legal standard for protecting judicial officials from direct, proximate public demonstrations.
