Judge Says He's "Very Troubled" by Accused White House Correspondents' Dinner Gunman's Treatment in Jail
The judge said the restrictions may be punitive and ordered jail officials to justify Allen’s confinement as he faces attempted assassination charges.
- On Monday, U.S. Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui apologized in court to Cole Tomas Allen, accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump, for "legally deficient" treatment and ordered jail officials to provide a status update by Tuesday morning.
- Following his April 25 arrest at the Washington Hilton, Allen was placed in a restrictive "safe cell" with 24-hour lockdown and constant lighting, conditions his lawyers argued were unnecessary and punitive rather than medically justified.
- Faruqui noted Allen's treatment appeared harsher than that of many January 6, 2021, Capitol riot defendants, who were often assigned to less restrictive facilities, while calling confinement of a defendant with no criminal history "disturbing."
- By Monday's hearing, jail officials had removed Allen from suicide watch and downgraded him to protective custody, prompting his attorneys to withdraw their court intervention request, calling the immediate dispute "moot."
- Criticism from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro followed, as she accused Faruqui of granting preferential treatment to a defendant "armed to the teeth," while the court's orders signal ongoing judicial scrutiny of detention practices for pretrial detainees.
