The judge said even J6 defendents weren't treat this way

Judge Zia M. Faruqui said he’s handled scores of cases involving defendants who took to the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and Allen’s allegations of treatment — including being fully restrained by a five-point shackling system — were worse than how those defendants were treated.

“Pardons may erase convictions, but they do not erase history,” Faruqui said during Monday’s hearing, taking a shot at Trump’s mass pardon of those involved in the January 6 attack.

Faruqui is known for his advocacy of defendants’ civil rights.
