在上周裁定唐纳德·特朗普应该被拘留后，丹佛警方正在加强科罗拉多州最高法院成员的安全被取消竞选总统的资格根据第十四修正案。
“丹佛警察局目前正在调查针对科罗拉多州最高法院法官的事件，并将继续与我们的地方、州和联邦执法伙伴合作，彻底调查任何威胁或骚扰的报告，”丹佛警方周二在一份声明中说。“出于公开调查以及安全和隐私方面的考虑，我们不会提供这些调查的细节。司法部正在丹佛的大法官住所周围提供额外的巡逻，并将根据请求提供额外的安全支持。”
在4比3的裁决中上诉到美国最高法院科罗拉多州七名法官中的大多数人写道，这位前总统在2021年1月6日，在他的支持者袭击美国国会大厦之前，他的行为“参与了叛乱”。
“特朗普总统在几个月的时间里，直接而明确地敦促他的支持者游行到国会大厦，以防止他错误地描述为对这个国家人民的所谓欺诈，这是无可争议的公开和自愿的，”法官们写道。
“此外，”他们写道，“证据充分表明，特朗普总统采取所有这些行动，是为了帮助和推进他自己构想并启动的一个共同的非法目的:阻止国会认证2020年总统选举，并阻止权力的和平转移。”
12月21日，美国联邦调查局告诉ABC新闻，它正在与科罗拉多州的当地执法部门合作，以监控对法官的威胁。
该机构在给ABC新闻的一份声明中说:“美国联邦调查局已经意识到了这一情况，并正在与当地执法部门合作。”。“我们将大力调查任何威胁或使用暴力的人，这些人使用极端主义观点来为自己的行为辩护，无论动机如何。”
根据跟踪白人至上主义者和圣战组织在线活动的SITE Intelligence Group的说法，投票赞成将特朗普从初选投票中除名的四名法官在周末继续收到威胁，甚至在此前媒体报道后鼓励了更多暴力行为。据网站英特尔集团称，威胁包括要求将法官从家中拖出、绞死和枪毙。
科罗拉多州的四名法官多数预测，此事将在美国最高法院结束。他们将裁决推迟到2024年1月4日，称将维持现状，等待国家高等法院的任何审查。
Police increase security for Colorado Supreme Court justices in wake of Donald Trump ruling
Denver police are increasing security for members of the Colorado Supreme Court after last week's ruling that Donald Trump should bedisqualified from running for presidentunder the 14th Amendment.
"The Denver Police Department is currently investigating incidents directed at Colorado Supreme Court justices and will continue working with our local, state and federal law enforcement partners to thoroughly investigate any reports of threats or harassment," Denver police said in a statement Tuesday. "Due to the open investigations and safety and privacy considerations, we will not be providing details of these investigations. The Department is providing extra patrols around justice's residences in Denver and will provide additional safety support if/as requested."
In a 4-3 ruling that could beappealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, a majority of Colorado's seven justices wrote that the former president "engaged in insurrection" for his behavior on Jan. 6, 2021, ahead of scores of his supporters storming the U.S. Capitol.
"President Trump's direct and express efforts, over several months, exhorting his supporters to march to the Capitol to prevent what he falsely characterized as an alleged fraud on the people of this country were indisputably overt and voluntary," the justices wrote.
"Moreover," they wrote, "the evidence amply showed that President Trump undertook all these actions to aid and further a common unlawful purpose that he himself conceived and set in motion: prevent Congress from certifying the 2020 presidential election and stop the peaceful transfer of power."
On Dec. 21, the FBI told ABC News it was working with local law enforcement in Colorado to monitor threats to the justices.
"The FBI is aware of the situation and working with local law enforcement," the agency said in a statement to ABC News. "We will vigorously pursue —investigations of any threat or use of violence committed by someone who uses extremist views to justify their actions regardless of motivation."
The four justices who voted in favor of removing Trump from the primary ballot continued to receive threats over the weekend, even encouraging more violence in the wake of previous media reports, according to SITE Intelligence Group, which that tracks online activity of white supremacist and jihadist organizations. Threats included calls for the justices to be dragged from their homes, hanged and shot, according to SITE Intel Group.
Colorado's four-justice majority predicted that the matter would wind up before the U.S. Supreme Court. They stayed the ruling until Jan. 4, 2024, saying it would maintain the status quo pending any review from the nation's high court.
