OK -#Honduras Tigre Bonilla is about to be presented in @SDNYLIVE Magistrates Court. Inner City Press is only media here (at least for now, while alerting others) and will live tweet, thread below
Already in Magistrates Court are the two prosecutors from yesterday's JOH arraignment, and agents eith a bag of clothes and possessions, presumably Bonilla's. Still waiting.
The court interpreter is setting up. A defense lawyer who Inner City Press recognizes from another recent trial (for horse drugging) peeks in; unclear if he or another lawyer will represent Bonilla.
Now a lawyer named Raoul comes in. And here is Tigre Bonilla, in a white T-shirt.
Tigre Bonilla is being whispered to by his lawyer Raoul, an interpreter between them. Here comes the judge.
Magistrate Judge Katharine Parker: Date of arrest?
AUSA Tarlow: He was extradited from Honduras yesterday.
Judge Parker: You have the right for us to notify your consulate.
[Ha]
It seems Bonilla is getting a lawyer paid for by the US taxpayers...
Judge Parker: Do you swear this financial info is true?
Bonilla: Si.
[Remember this]
Judge Parker: I therefore appoint a lawyer for you.
Judge Parker: The US is seeking detention?
AUSA: Yes.
Bonilla's lawyer: We consent, gor now.
Control date June 10.
Adjourned.
Story soon.

OK - now in "We Build the Wall" case of Kolfage (who pleaded guilty innercitypress.com/sdny12ibannonk…), pre-trial conference on Tim Shea. Judge Analisa Torres just said his communication with his wife can be admitted at trial. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
Judge Torres: Defense requests that the US not be able to put in evidence of not paying taxes, calling it irrelevant. The US argues not reporting income from We Build the Wall is relevant. I rule that the evidence may be introduced.
Assistant US Attorney: We don't want the jury to hear about his children, or his faith.
Shea's lawyer: We want the jury to know that he lives in Colorado and that's why his family is not in the gallery.
AUSA: We want no reference to Mr. Bannon's pardon.

OK - now in Jan 6 case of Stewart Rhodes (and MEGGS, HARRELSON, WATKINS, MINUTA, HACKETT, MOERSCHEL, CALDWELL & VALLEJO) Rhodes' lawyer says his client was "lost" for month, until April 26. Inner City Press will live tweet, thread below
Rhodes' lawyer says his client's phone was the master phone, wants the whole download because he say there is exculpatory information in chats the US did not include.
Judge Mehta: I've been told that the most people we could have in a trial is six. We could not do a 9 person trial, even in the Ceremonial Courtroom. I am not going to push the Marshal Service too far. So, six is the max. No one is entitled to a trial with others

OK - now in Jan 6 case, sentencing of Aaron Mostofsky. Inner City Press has covered his case innercitypress.com/edny2mostofsky… and will live tweet - US is asking for jail time as deterrent, just cited QAnon Shaman. Thread below
Mostofsky's lawyer: The videos shown by the government are emotionally powerful, we'll stipulate to that. But prosecutors arguments are quite hollow. They say his purpose was to assault democracy. That is false. Mostofsky was like Zelig, a character from the film
Mostofsky's lawyer: My client wears costumes all the time, including the cave man costume at issue. He did not plan to go to the Capitol, only the rally.
