Second Update @ 5:20 pm EDT: He is travelling with a private security detail, and will have 24/7 private protection — in Maryland. So any MAGA nut out there be warned: you will be… literally taking your life in your hands, should you try to confront our men. End, second update. [See comment box, here — for the first update.]
The details of this order were already agreed, two hearings ago, in Courtroom 3D in Music City. So, likely later today, we will see that release on ankle monitor order.
And it pains me to say this (as in other notable federal nominally-criminal cases, like Martin Shkreli’s), I’ve posted when the defendant is moved from one federal facility to another.
But to be clear, there will be no such disclosure here — even though I will see it, privately.
There is a quite-credible basis to fear MAGA idiot lawlessness, if they were able to triangulate on this information (given the earlier death threats his wife and children received, when Noem posted her home address) — and credible basis to think at least some Noemites / ICE / DHS officers might use it to violate the court’s orders, and try to re-detain and/or… deport him.
So, we will go silent after we post the release order — and until something protective is published (likely in the Maryland federal district courts), on his All Writs Act claims. There you have it — a very troubling time in our 250 year quest for the supremacy of the rule of law — not tiny men and women.
Onward, just the same.

I am unlikely to post anything more on this for at least a week or two, primarily to preserve Arego’s anonymity — in, and around Maryland.
He is entitled to remain free now — until his trial.
Noem should get that through her thick skull.
