A man charged with assaulting U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar at a town hall meeting will remain in custody, following a ruling from a federal judge on Tuesday.
Anthony Kazmierczak, 55, was charged last week with allegedly approaching Omar while she was speaking during a town hall and spraying her with liquid from a syringe. A lab analysis found it was likely apple cider vinegar, though that wasn’t known at the time of the incident.
Court documents allege that Kazmierczak has a history of social media posts critical of Omar.
In a hearing before a federal judge Tuesday, prosecutors with Minnesota’s U.S. Attorney’s Office argued that the attack on the congresswoman was dangerous, even if the liquid was unlikely to be harmful.
Kazmierczak’s attorney argued he should be released to a halfway house, and said he’s not getting his medical needs met in jail.
Judge David Schultz sided with prosecutors and ordered Kazmierczak to remain in custody.
“What was done is an exceedingly dangerous set of circumstances and is a danger to the community,” Schultz said.
Kazmierczak will return to the Sherburne County Jail, where his attorney said he’s being held in solitary confinement, due to publicity around his name and case.
Kazmierczak also faces state charges stemming from the town hall incident.

This wasn’t part of the deal!
“Just go with it. We’ll get you bailed out in a jiffy and all charges dropped. Don’t worry about it.”
Squirt some squirrel piss at Omar and you stay in jail.
Beat up an ICE officer and you don’t charged for anything.
Sounds fair to me.
Let suspect out-—no bail.
Our Learing Centers will handsomely pay you for your time and discomfort......
“exceedingly dangerous set of circumstances” I wonder if judge said that with a straight face.
Too bad it was a health food ingredient rather than squirrel piss.
Amazing how no liberal group is bailing him out like they do people who throw Molotov cocktails.
NOBODY stays in jail here. This is odd. No it’s not. Democrats are special.
I bet he wasn’t counting on that. Maybe he’ll come clean.

They can’t let him talk to anyone because he’ll talk about Omar and the fake attack. He should be on “suicide” watch.
Yet when ICE agents are attacked by leftists they are immediately released
Don Lemon’s released in time for a standing O at the Grammy’s, but Jan 6 and anti-abortion protesters, actually peaceful, rot behind bars for years.
I can still recall Paul Harvey frequently sharing news stories about normal people being jailed for almost nothing followed by his comment, “and rapists go free.”
That’s literally where we are today.
:-)
Interesting that his social media was not wiped.
What this guy did was outrageous! Spraying her with apple cider and vinegar when he should have used bacon grease!
They need to keep him locked up or he’ll bust, changing his mind about his willing participation in this scam.
“What was done is an exceedingly dangerous set of circumstances and is a danger to the community,” Schultz said.
What Omar is doing to the country is “exceeding dangerous and is a danger to the nation.” When does she get sent to jail?
