Julian Khater, one of two men charged with conspiring to assault Officer Brian Sicknick at the Capitol with a chemical spray, will remain in jail — the DC Circuit rejected his appeal of a judge's detention order. No ruling yet in co-def George Tanios' case s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2101… 
Panel that upheld pretrial detention for Khater features newly confirmed DC Circuit Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson
Circuit found the district judge made the required "individualized assessment of future dangerousness" and that detention was reasonable here given that Khater is charged with actual violence at the Capitol — "coolly walked up to police officers and assaulted them, twice"
DC Circuit: "Given the violent nature of appellant’s assault on law enforcement on January 6, which evidences a flagrant disregard of legal authority and disrespect for law enforcement..." + evidence of planning and coordination = pretrial detention okay
