Yes, retaliation can indeed lead to criminal charges under federal law. It's serious business, and those caught trying to silence a witness can face some hefty penalties.
If you think you're facing retaliation, it's important to document everything you experience. Then reach out to law enforcement or a legal professional. Don't keep quiet; your voice matters!
