US EditionJudge Says He's "Very Troubled" by Accused White House Correspondents' Dinner Gunman's Treatment in Jail
Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui said Allen’s jail restrictions were more severe than those imposed on Jan. 6 defendants.
- On Monday, Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui apologized in court to Cole Tomas Allen, the man accused of attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, for his restrictive jail conditions.
- Following his arrest on April 25, 2026, Allen was placed in a "safe cell" with constant lighting and 24-hour lockdown, conditions his attorneys argued were excessive and unnecessary despite jail officials citing suicide concerns.
- Faruqui expressed "grave concerns" about the treatment, comparing it unfavorably to Jan. 6 defendants, while Assistant U.S. Attorney Jocelyn Ballantine alleged Allen previously stated he "did not expect to survive" the attack.
- Although Allen was removed from suicide watch before Monday's hearing, rendering the defense motion moot, Faruqui ordered the District of Columbia Department of Corrections to notify the court by Tuesday on detention placement.
