在周一就被告狱中条件举行的听证会上，一名联邦治安法官将监狱管理局对这名被控在白宫记者协会晚宴上开枪的男子的待遇，与2021年1月6日国会山骚乱参与者的待遇进行了对比。
科尔·托马斯·艾伦的律师在法庭文件中称，艾伦被不公正地安置在华盛顿特区监狱的自杀监控单元和限制性拘押区域，他目前正处于审前羁押阶段。
来自加利福尼亚州的艾伦被指控于4月26日晚宴期间持霰弹枪冲过安检点，当时总统和高级政府官员均出席了该活动。他面临多项指控，包括企图暗杀特朗普。
在周一的听证会上，齐亚·M·法鲁基法官严厉谴责了监狱管理局对待艾伦的方式。
法鲁基表示，他经手过数十起2021年1月6日国会山骚乱参与者的案件，而艾伦所指控的待遇——包括被五点式约束系统完全束缚——比那些骚乱被告所受到的待遇还要严苛。
“赦免可以抹去定罪记录，但它们无法抹去历史，”法鲁基在周一的听证会上说道，此番言论直指特朗普对国会山骚乱参与者的大规模赦免。
法鲁基以维护被告公民权利的立场而闻名。
“他受到的待遇与我所见过的任何被告都不同，”这位法官补充道。
监狱的一名代表表示，医生初步评估后，艾伦曾被短暂安排接受自杀监控，目前尚未就他的拘押地点作出最终决定。
周一的听证会结束时，法鲁基亲自向艾伦致歉，并下令监狱在作出拘押地点决定后通知他。
“我很抱歉，”法官对艾伦说，“无论你经历了什么，我现在为此道歉。”
法官还指示监狱向艾伦提供他所要求的圣经，此前他的辩护律师提到，一名“友善的”监狱警卫曾给艾伦分享过几段经文。

A federal magistrate judge compared the Department of Corrections’ treatment of the man accused of opening fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to that of January 6, 2021, Capitol riot defendants during a Monday hearing over the man’s jail conditions.
Attorneys for Cole Tomas Allen said in court filings that Allen was unfairly placed on suicide watch and restrictive housing inside the Washington, DC, jail where he is being held pretrial.
Allen, who is from California, allegedly rushed through a security checkpoint armed with a shotgun during the April 26 dinner where the president and top administration officials were in attendance. He faces several charges, including attempting to assassinate Trump.
At the hearing Monday, Judge Zia M. Faruqui lambasted the DOC for its treatment of Allen.
Faruqui said he’s handled scores of cases involving defendants who took to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and Allen’s allegations of treatment — including being fully restrained by a five-point shackling system — were worse than how those defendants were treated.
“Pardons may erase convictions, but they do not erase history,” Faruqui said during Monday’s hearing, taking a shot at Trump’s mass pardon of those involved in the January 6 attack.
Faruqui is known for his advocacy of defendants’ civil rights.
“He’s been treated differently than anyone I’ve ever observed,” the judge added.
A representative from the jail said Allen was placed on suicide watch briefly after an initial evaluation from a doctor and final decisions on where he will be housed have not yet been made.
Faruqui concluded Monday’s hearing by personally apologizing to Allen and ordering the jail to inform him when a housing decision had been made.
“I’m sorry,” the judge told Allen. “Whatever you’ve been through, I apologize for that now.”
The judge also told the jail to provide Allen with the Bible he had requested, after his defense attorney mentioned that one “kind” jail guard shared some pieces of scripture with Allen.
