JUST IN: Judge Zia Faruqui has *apologized* to Cole Allen, the man who is accused of trying to kill President Trump, for how he has been treated in jail.

Fox News' Larry Kudlow was heard ripping the judge on Fox.

"The judge apologized to this guy? ... [He would've] shot at the President and we're apologizing to this guy?"

These judges are absolutely insane and belong in prison.

Judge Zia Faruqui ... I asked AI and its best guess is that this goon was spawned here from Pakistani immigrants. He might be an anchor baby.

He has been written up by the press in Pakistan.

According to one of those TV shows that were intended to tell teenagers what doing illegal stuff would result in...remember those? They strip you naked. They delouse you. They make you bend over for a cavity search. You have to use the bathroom on a toilet exposed on all sides in your cell. You have zero privacy and you wear a uniform probably made from paper. That’s pretty much what I’d expect for treatment. They may have also been impolite and condescending. From what I understand you can’t refer to the staff by name.

I couldn’t bear to read the article on account of my blood pressure, but I’m wondering if the treatment was anything beyond that.

If this failed assassin was strip searched, he enjoyed every minute of it.

It wouldn’t surprise me if he let him out on bail with an order to appear.

A Third Of All DC District Judges Were Not Born In US
Appointed by the Kenyan and the Slobberor
Federalist ^ | March 25, 2025 | Beth Brelje

While country of origin doesn’t come up in most jobs, it is worth asking if judges with ties to foreign nations and cultures are the right ones to make decisions affecting the U.S. military or immigration. The concept of foreign-born judges is a newer phenomenon in this district. In addition to the 15 main judges, the D.C. District has 10 older, senior judges who still occasionally hear cases in the district. This group, nominated as far back as Ronald Reagan the 1980s, were all born in the U.S.

But starting in 2014, Barack Obama appointed Judge Tanya Sue Chutkan, born in Kingston, Jamaica. She was in the U.S. by 1979, attending George Washington University. Before sitting on federal court, she had no experience as a judge. Chutkan is overseeing the legal challenge to DOGE’s work to slash excess government spending.

Obama also appointed Judge Amit P. Mehta. Mehta also had no previous experience as a judge. Mehta was born in Patan, Gujarat, India. He and his parents came to the U.S. when he was a baby, age one. He was raised in Maryland. Mehta will oversee four January 6 civil cases that aim to blame Trump for injuries and squeeze money, court time, and political embarrassment out of him.

The other three foreign born judges were nominated by former President Joe Biden.

Judge Ana Cecilia Reyes was nominated in 2021, also with no prior experience as a judge. She was born in Montevideo, Uruguay and moved to Spain, and while still a child, moved to Louisville, Kentucky, where she grew up. She is the first openly LGBT Latina to be appointed to this court. Reyes presided over an objection to Trump’s executive order declaring “gender dysphoria” as “inconsistent” with the “high standards for troop readiness,” as The Federalist’s Shawn Fleetwood reported. Reyes blocked Trump’s order with a preliminary injunction.

The first Muslim and Arab American in the D.C. district court, Judge Amir Hatem Mahdy Ali was born and raised in Canada to Egyptian parents. According to his Questionnaire for Judicial Nominees, Ali was not required to register for the U.S. Selective Service. That is because he was not a citizen until 2019.

He worked as a volunteer on Biden’s 2020 transition team and for a phone bank in support of Biden’s presidential campaign. He worked for some nonprofits but never served as a judge until Biden appointed him in 2024. Amir has written extensively and negatively about Trump’s so-called “Travel ban,” a 2017 Executive Order which restricted travel to the U.S. from seven predominantly Muslim countries for 90 days.

In his writing, he said, “prejudice and intolerance” were “the very hallmark of [Trump’s] campaign against Muslims.” When confirmed, Amir was a member of the Capital Area Muslim Bar Association; Muslim American Judicial Advisory Council; National Arab American Bar Association; National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers; National Police Accountability Project; and the Native American Bar Association of D.C., among others.

Ali single handedly restored $2 billion in USAID spending to foreign nonprofit contractors that the Trump Administration had paused for 90 days, in a stunning overreach of authority last month. The newest judge on the D.C. District Court is also foreign born.

Before slinking out of office, Biden and his handlers got Judge Sparkle Sooknanan confirmed. She was sworn in Jan. 2, 2025. Born in the dual-island nation Trinidad and Tobago in 1983, she left her home country at age 16 to pursue college and graduated from Brooklyn Law School in 2010.

Thanks for posting. Many of America’s robed mullahs are domestic enemies of the republic.

Where the hell did you get that photo? The judge is a male, not a female:

Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui was appointed as a United States Magistrate Judge on September 14, 2020.

He received a B.A. and J.D. from Georgetown University.

Following law school, he was a litigation associate at Willkie Farr in Washington, D.C., where he focused on government investigations and general commercial litigation.

Judge Faruqui then served for twelve years as a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Offices in St. Louis and Washington D.C.

While there, he prosecuted cases involving terrorists use of cryptocurrency, North Korean weapons proliferation, darknet sites dedicated to child exploitation, and the theft of antiquities.

He also represented the Department of Justice at numerous conferences across the globe on financial crimes, cryptocurrency, and national security issues.
