Feds indict Twin Cities man, saying he threatened a federal judge, U.S. Supreme Court justice
Description
Prosecutors say a Twin Cities man charged earlier this week with threatening to kill a federal judge also threatened a U.S. Supreme Court justice and a defense attorney. Robert Ivers, 72, went to prison in 2019 after a jury convicted him of threatening to kill Judge Wilhelmina Wright, now retired, after she ruled against him in a civil suit.
Also, organizers of Farm Aid say they won’t cross a picket line at the University of Minnesota’s Huntington Bank Stadium until there’s a resolution in the strike by custodial, food service and maintenance staff. U officials say they want the strike to stop so the benefit concert can go on next weekend.
