Taylor Taranto presents too great a danger to be released, a magistrate judge ruled.
Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui ruled Wednesday that Taranto presents too great a danger to be released while he awaits trial on four misdemeanor charges stemming from his participation in the Jan. 6 mob. | Susan Walsh/AP PhotoA federal magistrate judge has ordered the pretrial detention of Taylor Taranto, a Jan. 6 defendant who was arrested last month after approaching former President Barack Obama’s neighborhood in a van with two firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
But Faruqui paired his ruling with an extended critique of America’s failure to support military veterans like Taranto, who suffered mental health consequences from combat.The magistrate judge also lamented the absence of accountability for “elected officials” who he says misled supporters to believe the 2020 election had been stolen, along with other conspiracy theories.
Guevara argued that prosecutors had “twisted facts” and significantly exaggerated their case against Taranto, relying on his political views — protected by the First Amendment — to cast him as a threat. She noted that prosecutors initially accused Taranto of “trespassing” in a Maryland elementary school near the home of Rep.Prosecutors, however, said Taranto’s presence at the school remained concerning given his livestreamed suggestion that he intended to get close to Raskin’s home.
