Subtitle D—Judicial Security and 
Privacy 
SEC. 5931. SHORT TITLE. 
This subtitle may be cited as the ‘‘Daniel Anderl Judi-
cial Security and Privacy Act of 2022’’. 
SEC. 5932. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) Members of the Federal judiciary perform the 
important function of interpreting the Constitution of 
the United States and administering justice in a fair and 
impartial manner. 
(2) In recent years, partially as a result of the rise 
in the use of social media and online access to informa-
tion, members of the Federal judiciary have been ex-
posed to an increased number of personal threats in con-
nection to their role. The ease of access to free or inex-
pensive sources of covered information has considerably 
lowered the effort required for malicious actors to dis-
cover where individuals live and where they spend leisure 
hours and to find information about their family mem-
bers. Such threats have included calling a judge a traitor 
with references to mass shootings and serial killings, a 
murder attempt on a justice of the Supreme Court of 
the United States, calling for an ‘‘angry mob’’ to gather 
outside a home of a judge and, in reference to a judge
2391 
•HRES 1512 EH 
on the court of appeals of the United States, stating how 
easy it would be to ‘‘get them’’. 
(3) Between 2015 and 2019, threats and other in-
appropriate communications against Federal judges and 
other judiciary personnel increased from 926 in 2015 to 
approximately 4,449 in 2019. 
(4) Over the past decade, several members of the 
Federal judiciary have experienced acts of violence 
against themselves or a family member in connection to 
their Federal judiciary role, including the murder in 
2005 of the family of Joan Lefkow, a judge for the 
United States District Court for the Northern District 
of Illinois. 
(5) On Sunday July 19, 2020, an assailant went to 
the home of Esther Salas, a judge for the United States 
District Court for the District of New Jersey, imper-
sonating a package delivery driver, opening fire upon ar-
rival, and killing Daniel Anderl, the 20-year-old only son 
of Judge Salas, and seriously wounding Mark Anderl, 
her husband. 
(6) In the aftermath of the recent tragedy that oc-
curred to Judge Salas and in response to the continuous 
rise of threats against members of the Federal judiciary, 
there is an immediate need for enhanced security proce-
2392 
•HRES 1512 EH 
dures and increased availability of tools to protect Fed-
eral judges and their families. 
(b) PURPOSE.—The purpose of this subtitle is to im-
prove the safety and security of Federal judges, including 
senior, recalled, or retired Federal judges, and their imme-
diate family members to ensure Federal judges are able to 
administer justice fairly without fear of personal reprisal 
from individuals affected by the decisions they make in the 
course of carrying out their public duties.

ACCOUNTABILITY ACT. 
(a) SHORT TITLE.—This section may be cited as the 
‘‘Ukraine Invasion War Crimes Deterrence and Account-
ability Act’’. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 
that— 
(1) in its premeditated, unprovoked, unjustified, 
and unlawful full-scale invasion of Ukraine that com-
2452 
•HRES 1512 EH 
menced on February 24, 2022, the military of the Gov-
ernment of the Russian Federation under the direction 
of President Vladimir Putin has committed war crimes 
that include but are not limited to— 
(A) the deliberate targeting of civilians and in-
juring or killing of noncombatants; 
(B) the deliberate targeting and attacking of 
hospitals, schools, and other non-military buildings 
dedicated to religion, art, science, or charitable pur-
poses, such as the bombing of a theater in Mariupol 
that served as a shelter for noncombatants and had 
the word ‘‘children’’ written clearly in the Russian 
language outside; 
(C) 
the 
indiscriminate 
bombardment 
of 
undefended dwellings and buildings; 
(D) the wanton destruction of property not jus-
tified by military necessity; 
(E) unlawful civilian deportations; 
(F) the taking of hostages; and 
(G) rape, or sexual assault or abuse; 
(2) the use of chemical weapons by the Government 
of the Russian Federation in Ukraine would constitute 
a war crime, and engaging in any military preparations 
to use chemical weapons or to develop, produce, stock-
pile, or retain chemical weapons is prohibited by the
2453 
•HRES 1512 EH 
Chemical Weapons Convention, to which the Russian 
Federation is a signatory; 
(3) Vladimir Putin has a long record of committing 
acts of aggression, systematic abuses of human rights, 
and acts that constitute war crimes or other atrocities 
both at home and abroad, and the brutality and scale of 
these actions, including in the Russian Federation re-
public of Chechnya, Georgia, Syria, and Ukraine, dem-
onstrate the extent to which his regime is willing to flout 
international norms and values in the pursuit of its ob-
jectives; 
(4) Vladimir Putin has previously sanctioned the 
use of chemical weapons at home and abroad, including 
in the poisonings of Russian spy turned double agent 
Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia and leading Rus-
sian opposition figure Aleksey Navalny, and aided and 
abetted the use of chemical weapons by President 
Bashar al-Assad in Syria; and 
(5) in 2014, the Government of the Russian Fed-
eration initiated its unprovoked war of aggression 
against Ukraine which resulted in its illegal occupation 
of Crimea, the unrecognized declaration of independence 
by the so-called ‘‘Donetsk People’s Republic’’ and 
‘‘Luhansk People’s Republic’’ by Russia-backed proxies,
2454 
•HRES 1512 EH 
and numerous human rights violations and deaths of ci-
vilians in Ukraine.
