A US judge on Monday apologized to the man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump for the “legally deficient” treatment he has faced in a Washington DC, jail, including being placed on suicide watch, separated from other inmates and denied a Bible.
The US magistrate judge Zia Faruqui said he was disturbed by the conditions for Cole Allen, who allegedly fired a shotgun during a foiled attack on Trump and senior officials in his administration at a 25 April press gala. The judge said the conditions were inappropriate for a person with no criminal history.
“Whatever you’ve been through, I apologize,” Faruqui said during a court hearing.
I just don’t think it rises to the same level of seriousness as the other things they’re doing
You’re absolutely right, and that’s why they did it. Fascists love to boil frogs in order to create permission structures.

I mean, we have US citizens being detained without due process. I think we’re beyond that.
