Ryan's first bond hearing — four days after his January 18, 2021 arrest — before Hon. K. Nicole Mitchell, U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas (Tyler Division). Pretrial release denied on 1/22/21. Five cited reasons included references to planned attack, text messages regarding weapons/body armor, and threats. Confirmed in scan j6s26-004 (handwritten Nichols transcription of the ruling). Next bond hearing would not happen until December 20, 2021 — nearly 11 months later — before Judge Hogan and under coerced-vaccination preconditions.

Motion for Reconsideration of Detention Order Filed

Defense files a motion asking the court to reconsider pretrial detention. This motion sits between the February 2021 first bond hearing in Tyler, Texas (denied) and the December 2021 second bond hearing before Judge Hogan (where Ryan was forced to take the COVID vaccine as a precondition and was still denied bond).

Second 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).
