A liberal federal judge in DC has sparked outrage after apologizing to Donald Trump’s alleged would-be assassin for restrictions placed on him behind bars.

Cole Tomas Allen, 31, has been held in 24-hour lockup ever since he was placed in federal custody, after prosecutors say he attempted to gain access to the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner to kill the President.

Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui slammed attorneys during a Monday afternoon court hearing over the conditions of Allen’s imprisonment. Allen was placed on suicide watch when he was first jailed.

‘At a minimum I should be apologizing to him. We are obligated to make sure he’s taken care of. Mr. Allen, I’m sorry that things have not been the way they are supposed to,’ the judge said. 

Faruqui went on to compare Allen’s imprisonment to defendants arrest for rioting at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. 

‘To me, it’s extremely disturbing that he was put in five-point restraints, a person with no criminal history,’ Faruqui added. ‘It’s troubling. I never heard of one Jan. 6 defendant who was put in five-point restraints or in a safe cell. If the only way to keep him safe is the most punitive thing, that’s a problem.’
