A person who pickets, parades, or conducts a similar demonstration near certain federal courts, judges, jurors, witnesses, or court officers with specified intent may be fined, imprisoned for up to one year, or both. The section does not limit a federal court's contempt power.

A person who, intending to interfere with, obstruct, or impede the administration of justice, or intending to influence a judge, juror, witness, or court officer while that person performs official duties, pickets or parades in or near a building that houses a United States court, or in or near a building or residence occupied or used by that judge, juror, witness, or court officer, may be fined under this title, imprisoned for not more than one year, or both. The same penalty applies if, with that intent, the person uses a sound truck or similar device or conducts another demonstration in or near such a building or residence. Nothing in this section interferes with or prevents a United States court from using its power to punish contempt.
