U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth called out this treatment of defendants during a case in which he found that one of the defendants hadnāt been provided with treatment for a broken hand. He found jail officials in civil contempt for failing to provide the records needed for the defendantās medical treatment. Lamberth went on to question the treatment of other defendants.
āI find that the civil rights of the defendant have been abused,ā Lamberth, who was appointed by former President Reagan, said at a hearing Wednesday morning, according to The Washington Post. āI donāt know if itās because heās a January 6th defendant or not, but I find this matter should be referred to the attorney general of the United States for a civil rights investigation into whether the D.C. Department of Corrections is violating the civil rights of January 6th defendants ⦠in this and maybe other cases.ā
Now U.S. Marshalsā Office has been inspecting the D.C. jail and talking to the people being held to see if they are being treated appropriately.
Multiple officials said a U.S. Marshals Service inspection team arrived at the jail Monday at 9:30 a.m. and was still inside at the end of the business day.
D.C. Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Chris Geldart confirmed Monday the inspectors are speaking with Jan. 6 defendants and said all court orders are being followed. āWe have been working with the marshals office,ā he said. āAs a matter of fact, theyāre in there today doing an inspection of the jail and talking with many of the Jan. 6 folks that are there to make sure that we are continuing to do that.ā
Judge Lamberth discovered civil rights violations perpetrated against Jan 6 defendants. He turned the case over to Biden's DOJ - Garland. Let's see if Garland ensures they get treated fairly and their civil rights protected.
