The Florida Bar member, 40, is accused of making false or recklessly misleading claims about judges who ruled against the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Threats against judges are already widespread. Updated U.S. Marshals Service figures show 415 threats against federal judges during fiscal 2026 through Aug. 17. A total of 307 different judges were targeted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>That didn\u2019t stop Percival from unveiling his \u201cWorst of the Worst, District Judge Edition\u201d on his official X account July 23. He named Clinton-appointed Judge Matthew Kennelly, Obama appointees Allison Burroughs and Paula Xinis, and Biden appointee Hern\u00e1n Vera.<\/p>\n<p>The list included no Trump appointees. <\/p>\n<p>Percival accused Kennelly of \u201cjudicial sabotage\u201d over an immigration ruling. He claimed Burroughs deliberately slowed a case to obstruct deportations and described an order from Xinis as \u201ccrazy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He also accused Vera of endangering DHS officers by restricting their use of force against journalists, legal observers and protesters.<\/p>\n<p>Percival continued his attacks the following day. He branded another judge, Clinton appointee Patti Saris, \u201crogue,\u201d and claimed district judges were engaged in \u201cmutiny against the Supreme Court.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Led by former Florida Supreme Court chief justice Peggy Quince, Democracy Defenders Fund and Lawyers Defending American Democracy submitted the complaint. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5761\">Trump\u2019s Blonde Companion \u2018Not Beloved\u2019 by White House Rivals<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Virginia Canter, Democracy Defenders Fund\u2019s chief counsel and director of ethics and anti-corruption, said in a statement that Percival\u2019s tactics \u201ccould be used to incite violence\u201d against judges.<\/p>\n<p>The filing cites U.S. District Judge Esther Salas, 57, whose 20-year-old son Daniel Anderl was murdered at their home in 2020 by a lawyer angered by her judicial work. Salas said Percival was \u201cin essence, putting a bullseye on\u201d the named judges.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint also alleges Percival violated a Florida rule barring lawyers from knowingly or recklessly making false statements about a judge\u2019s integrity. <\/p>\n<p>DHS has defended Percival\u2019s posts as \u201cnothing more than a factual review of judicial decisions and their real-world consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Percival told Fox News on July 30 that he was not attacking the entire judiciary. He said he was identifying a small number of judges \u201cwho are causing the same problems over and over and over again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DHS and the White House regularly complain that threats and assaults against ICE agents have skyrocketed during Trump\u2019s second term. DHS claimed last October that death threats had risen 8,000 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5760\">Trump\u2019s Nepo Sis Gives Bonkers Excuse for Debate Flop<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has contacted DHS for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donald Trump\u2019s top Department of Homeland Security lawyer has been accused of risking bloodshed by publishing a \u201cWorst of the Worst\u201d list of sitting federal judges.
