The latest man charged with trying to assassinate President Donald Trump received an apology from the judge in his court appearance Monday.
Attorneys for Cole Allen claimed in filings revealed during the hearing that the suspect had been wrongfully placed on suicide watch and denied access to a Bible.
Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui gave the government until the next day to update the court on where Allen would be held at the Washington, D.C., jail.
"Whatever you've been through, I apologize for the prior week," the judge said to Allen, according to USA Today.
"I'm sorry," the judge said at another point.
Faruqui also compared Allen's treatment in jail to that of the defendants in the Jan. 6 melee at the U.S. Capitol, saying he had been treated worse.
"This is not the jail's first go-around with people engaged in alleged political violence," the judge added.
Allen's attorneys said in a filing to the court that Allen had been cleared of being a suicide risk but was assigned to the restrictions anyway. The prisoner was refused phone calls, non-legal visits, dimmed lights, tablets, and other personal items under the suicide risk designation, they claimed.
"Mr. Allen is forced to be escorted to the shower, strip searched when entering and exiting his cell, and wear a padded vest while inside," according to Allen's public defender and two court-appointed attorneys.
"These conditions are excessive restrictions on his liberty that serve no justifiable purpose and deprive Mr. Allen of dignity while incarcerated," they added in the filing.
The lawyers said Sunday that Allen has since been taken off suicide watch.
Allen was charged with attempted assassination of the president and two other charges after he allegedly fired a shotgun at the White House Correspondents' Dinner that President Donald Trump was attending. The suspect was captured on security video rushing through a security checkpoint with the gun before he was tackled to the ground and arrested.
Allen left a large digital footprint full of left-wing criticism against the president, as well as other evidence that suggested the shooting may have been politically motivated.
He could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted of the charges. He has not yet entered a plea to the court.

The J6’ers were mistreated/railroaded, this clown needs to get the full treatment.
These leftist judges and prosecutors are enemies of America...... AND SHOULD BE REMOVED!
If the SS just killed the POS we wouldn’t have to put up with this Paki scumbag.
Any judge who brings up J-6 should recuse themselves.
Sounds like Trump-hating, Faruqui found himself a new Luigi Flying Monkey lover.
Hell is empty and all the devils are here.
Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui is an anchor baby, born of Pakistani parents while in the USA ... a full-on muslim POS - he encapsulates everything that is wrong with the current state of US immigration policy ....
Word!
Fake judges are everywhere
YES
What a BS POS judge. Needs to be debenched.
This SOB is not just a leftist judge - he’s from Pakistan and a apparently a muslim. No wonder he supports an assassin.
Not to mention this ‘judge’ has a rather islamic sounding name....I wonder if he was born in the US? And obviously if you were raised under sharia law it is not likely you are enforcing American law as aggressively as taxpayers expect
I think i read he’s of Pakistani origin!
As I posted on the previous thread:
“… unfairly placed on suicide watch and restrictive housing…”
He ran into the dinner, carrying a shotgun, pistol, and three knives after taking a shot at a cop.
1. He expected to be killed during the attack (suicide by cop), or
2. He expected to be able to kill dozens, but walk out unscathed (a break with reality).
If #1, then he should be on suicide watch.
If #2, then he should be put in a rubber room.
The Feds did both, erring on the side of caution to protect both the prisoner and the prison staff.
This judge is an ass, and should apologize to the American people for being stupid.
Same judge that refused to charge Don Lemon:
BREAKING UPDATE: Pakistani Minnesota Judge Zia M. Faruqui has REFUSED to sign the charges that the DOJ brought against
Don Lemon -CBS
Why am I not suprised? Corruption right in your faces. Let this had been a white Christian man running into a Mosque and they would have had him under the jail yesterday.
Judge Zia Faruqui won’t sentence him to prison. I’m guessing she is seeing him as fresh meat. The judge may have corrected the suicide watch, and lack of a Bible, but there was no reason to apologize.
My error. I didn’t know Zia was a man’s name. I still say, he was looking at Cole as fresh meat. Apparently, Don Lemon-Pie, too.
Seems to me that Magistrate Judge Zia M. Faruqui needs to recuse herself in this case.
