“While you are away, you must maintain good conduct,” said Judge Brian Tsuchida on Monday.
The Justice Department has indicated in court that it will seek an appeal to challenge Nordean’s release. The DOJ appealed several of these decisions across the country, where judges in low-level criminal cases said the defendants could be released, effectively keeping them in prison.
Tsuchida’s decision on Monday included placing Nordean on an evening curfew, restricting his trip to Washington and Washington, DC, for court appearances, and barring his communication with other witnesses in the case – which is likely to include several prosecutors Proud Boys say he communicated with on January 6. Tsuchida did not place it in terms of more restrictive release, such as home detention or GPS monitoring, nor did he even set a bail amount.
Nordean has been in detention since his arrest last week and has not yet been released.
He currently faces charges of aid and complicity in damage to government property, obstruction of an official process, entry into restricted Capitol grounds and disorderly conduct.
