ReadJudge Hogan acknowledges Ryan's due process rights were violated (Dec 2021 Bond Hearing)
At the December 2021 bond hearing, U.S. District Judge Thomas F. Hogan, on the record, agreed with defense counsel that 22 to 23 hours of cell confinement is "terrible, confining, and difficult for people," and explicitly stated: "And so I accept your argument that his due process rights were violated and that should be another basis for his release." Defense counsel Joseph McBride then raised Ryan's Sixth Amendment rights, noting that Ryan's ability to meaningfully participate in his defense had been "repeatedly interrupted by the D.C. jail," that the conditions of confinement had been raised on November 1, and that Ryan was retaliated against by the facility — the jail confiscated his discovery and took away his ability to use a laptop immediately after learning the conditions were being challenged. Despite this on-the-record acknowledgment from the bench, Ryan was not released. The judge's statement remains potentially relevant evidence for any lawful compensation, civil, administrative, or historical claim. The archive does not state that an Anti-Weaponization Fund application is currently available; DOJ later represented that the announced fund had not been established and was not going forward.

ReadSix defendants arraigned on superseding indictment

Martinez’s counsel waived formal reading and stated that Martinez did not object to the requested 60-day continuance. These were procedural positions; the charges remained accusations at that stage.

ReadCoerced First COVID Dose Administered
First COVID vaccine dose administered to Ryan at DC DOC on December 4, 2021 — reluctantly, under the coercive precondition Judge Hogan had set for the December 20, 2021 bond hearing. Ryan documents this date in his 3/18/22 Step 4 Deputy Director appeal (scan j6s14-014).

ReadSecond Bond Hearing — Dec 20, 2021 (Judge Hogan)
Ryan's second bond hearing — almost a year after the first one in Tyler, Texas was denied. Judge Thomas Hogan conditioned access to this hearing on Ryan taking the COVID vaccine. Ryan went on the record stating he did not want the shot; told his attorney the same. He reluctantly took the first dose on Dec 4, 2021 to preserve access to the hearing. DC DOC then refused the required second dose until after the window expired. Bond denied at the Dec 20, 2021 hearing despite Judge Hogan's on-record admission that prolonged solitary confinement violated Ryan's due process rights. Confirmed in scans j6s14-014 (Step 4 Deputy Director Appeal, 3/18/22) and j6s18-016 (12/7/21 IGP).
