(CNN) — Threats against more than one judge involved in legal challenges to President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration have prompted federal and local law enforcement agencies to temporarily increase security protection for some of them, according to law enforcement officials.

CNN did not learn how specific the threats were, but law enforcement agencies treated them seriously and out of an abundance of caution, the US Marshals Service and local police increased patrols and protective officers to provide security for some of the judges, the officials said.

is Trump and his bully-boy assembly. The Don has been fanning these flames since he was on the campaign trail, actively encouraging his followers to act out, even promising to pay legal fees. Anyone who thought the man was capable of pivoting into anything resembling a presidential manner has been proven wrong.

HRC was right. There is no other Donald Trump. What you see (and hear) is all you get: a sad, pathetic narcissist who is accustomed to getting what he wants, when he wants it. Motivated purely for the power and money he might be able to extract from his tenure in the WH. Trump is no better than a mafia Don. He'll inspire his followers to do the dirty work through this continuing mantra of grievance, and then pretend he has no accountability for threats or violence.

Spicer, Conway, Preibus, Bannon--all these acolytes are equally guilty. May they all fall down, hard.
