Sources: 6. Developments: 2. A federal jury in St. Paul, Minnesota, convicted 73-year-old Robert Philip Ivers on multiple counts, including two counts of mailing threatening communications and one count of threatening to murder a U.S. District Judge. Prosecutors revealed that Ivers authored a 236-page manifesto titled ‘How to Kill a Federal Judge,’ which was intended to instruct extremists on how to plan, stalk, and kill judges, politicians, and their families. The document was mailed to a Minneapolis law firm and the University of St. Thomas after library staff in Wayzata alerted authorities to the contents during a copying attempt. During his arrest, Ivers reportedly claimed to have sent copies of the manifesto to all nine U.S. Supreme Court justices. This legal action follows a 2019 conviction in which Ivers was sentenced to 18 months in prison for plotting to kill U.S. District Judge Wilhelmina Wright. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-10: Robert Phillip Ivers convicted for threatening to kill a federal judge Robert Phillip Ivers, 73, was convicted in Minnesota for mailing a 236-page manifesto titled ‘How to Kill a Federal Judge’ and making threats against members of the judiciary. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/robert-phillip-ivers-convicted-for-threatening-to-kill-a-federal-judge ### 2026-08-07: Robert Philip Ivers Convicted for Threatening Federal Judge Robert Philip Ivers was convicted in Minneapolis of mailing threats, including a manifesto titled “How to Kill a Federal Judge,” aimed at a U.S. District Judge; sentencing pending. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/robert-philip-ivers-convicted-for-threatening-federal-judge --- Cite as: Conviction of Robert Philip Ivers for judicial threats.
