Muslim Judge Apologizes to Trump Assassin

“Whatever you’ve been through, I apologize”

Are they more dangerous when they hide who they are? Or when they don’t.

Judge Zia Faruqui is a Pakistani Muslim magistrate judge appointed by Judge Beryl Howell, a notorious leftist, under Barack Obama. While the Muslim magistrate judge, a member of the Muslim Bar Association of New York, had mostly flown under the radar until now, his political tantrums from the bench had begun last year as he fought to protect criminals.

Faruqui said federal judges would continue to push back on “implausible, illegal, immoral” prosecutions.

Faruqui said the Trump administration’s zeal to reduce crime in the nation’s capital had touched off a “constitutional crisis.” Officials were “playing cops and robbers” on the streets of D.C. while “the rule of law is being flushed down the toilet,” Faruqui said.

“I am afraid right now, and that’s not what this country is founded on,” the judge said.

The judge lambasted Pirro’s office during a hearing at which he agreed to dismiss the federal case against a man accused of threatening to kill Trump while in police custody. The defendant, Edward Alexander Dana, spent more than a week in jail before a federal grand jury refused to indict him.

Faruqui said there is no precedent for what is happening at the courthouse over the last few weeks. He said Trump administration officials are frequently touting the arrest figures on social media with seemingly no regard for how the arrests are affecting people’s lives.

“Where are the stats on the people illegally detained?” he asked.

So this isn’t even the Muslim judge’s first time defending a Trump assassin, but his particularly shameful rant in court on behalf of current Trump assassin Cole Allen has gone viral.

Faruqui apologized directly to Allen over his confinement conditions, saying, “I am very troubled by what they indicate the conditions that you have been subjected to … I’m sorry. It sounds like things have not been the way they’re supposed to … Whatever you’ve been through, I apologize.”

A federal judge on Monday sharply criticized the treatment of accused White House Correspondents’ Dinner attacker Cole Allen, at one point apologizing to the defendant for what he saw as overly restrictive and punitive conditions at the D.C. jail where he is being held.

At one point, Faruqui told Allen he was “very troubled” by the “conditions you’ve been treated to.”

The judge also apologized to Allen for the issues in the first week of his detention.

He also said he is “fascinated and concerned” that Allen has been treated differently from many now-pardoned Jan. 6 defendants.

“A lot of people seem to have forgotten January 6,” Faruqui said. “Pardons may erase convictions, but they do not erase history.”

Faruqui is a magistrate judge. The bar for removing them is much lower. And should be exercised.
