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.
