Federal Law prohibits the type of intimidation protests that occurred .
U.S.C. Title 18 - CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE (govinfo.gov)

Mary Margaret Olohan on Twitter: "Ted Cruz: “Is it a federal crime to protest outside of a judge’s home with the intent of influencing that judge as to a pending case?” AG Garland: “The answer to that is yes.” https://t.co/zzff4UgnvJ" / Twitter
