Should Congress remove him?
Last year, Edward Alexander Dana was charged over a rant in which he allegedly claimed that, “this is Donald Trump’s way of saying, hey, I can look like Putin” and vowed “to protect the Constitution by any means necessary. And that means killing you, officer, killing the President, killing anyone who stands in the way of our Constitution.”
Judge Zia Faruqui, a Pakistani Muslim federal magistrate judge, insisted that Dana, who had 23 prior arrests and 9 prior convictions, was a victim who deserved a government apology.
Faruqui apologized to Dana, claimed that America is “past the point of constitutional crisis”, and warned that “people like Mr Dana are suffering the consequences” of law enforcement in D.C.
The Pakistani Muslim judge blamed racism for Dana’s arrest, ranting that “the government’s message to people who look like Mr. Dana is ‘be very afraid” and then claimed, “I’m afraid right now.”
“I really appreciate the judge, though, for being reasonable,” Dana said after his release.
After the latest assassination attempt against President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Judge Zia Faruqui has apologized to yet another Trump assassin.
This time it was Cole Thomas Allen who had come armed with a shotgun, handgun and knives, and had written a manifesto explaining why he was trying to kill President Trump. Allen’s lawyer had complained that the assassin hadn’t received a free tablet in prison and that he had been put on suicide watch after admitting that he had expected to die during his attack.
Once again, the Pakistani Muslim judge apologized to a presidential assassin for having been inconvenienced. “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.”
Judge Faruqui, a magistrate judge who had been appointed by Judge Beryl Howell, a longtime Trump opponent, during the Obama administration, then said that he was “fascinated and concerned” that Allen, a presidential assassin, had been treated worse than J6 detainees.
“A lot of people seem to have forgotten January 6,” the Pakistani judge complained. “Pardons may erase convictions, but they do not erase history.”
Judge Zia Faruqui had long worked to sabotage the Trump administration’s effort to fight crime in D.C., falsely describing it as a “constitutional crisis”, contending that “the rule of law is being flushed down the toilet” and threatening to stop authorizing criminal charges after arrests. --->READ MORE HERE

Zia Faruqui called Cole Allen's five-point restraints 'extremely disturbing' and compared his case to Jan 6 defendants
The magistrate judge who apologized to suspected would-be Trump assassin Cole Allen for his treatment inside a Washington, D.C., jail during a Monday emergency motion hearing has been criticized for his standoffishness with the Trump administration over the city's crime crackdown, and praised for his career-long commitment to DEI.
"To me, it’s extremely disturbing that he was put in five-point restraints, a person with no criminal history," Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui, who devoted much of his career to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, said during the hearing, adding that Allen is presumed innocent.
He then compared Allen, who is accused of trying to kill President Donald Trump, with suspected Capitol rioters from Jan. 6, 2021.
"It’s troubling. I never heard of one Jan. 6 defendant who was put in five-point restraints or in a safe cell," he said. "If the only way to keep him safe is the most punitive thing, that’s a problem."
"Pardons may erase convictions, but they don’t erase history," he said. "They were hanging gallows outside."
"What am I to say to Allen that this is going to be a fair process if we’re putting him in a safe cell when he’s not supposed to be in there?" Faruqui asked. "At a minimum, I should be apologizing to him. We are obligated to make sure he’s taken care of. Mr. Allen, I’m sorry that things have not been the way they are supposed to."
Allen's defense on Sunday filed a motion for an emergency hearing on his jail treatment, which was scheduled for Monday. Later on Sunday, they withdrew the motion when they learned that Allen was no longer in the jail's suicide protocol, which dictated his placement in the safe cell.
Despite the withdrawal, Faruqui hauled the defense, prosecution and a Department of Corrections (DOC) attorney into court for the emergency hearing where he decried Allen's treatment. --->READ MORE HERE
