• stating that the court “review[s] release and detention orders pursuant to the Bail Reform Act, 18 U.S.C. § 3142 et seq., for clear error”
• explaining that the district court properly relied upon defendant’s “extensive history of statements condoning violence against those of other races and religions” and instances of violent conduct implicating those beliefs
• finding that the district court did not err in its pretrial detention determination, by considering the “totality of the circumstances” surrounding defendant’s criminal charges, including the weight of the evidence against defendant
• characterizing the dangerousness inquiry as a “forward-looking determination about the serious risk” posed by a defendant’s release
• rejecting the suggestion that “January 6 defendants should get the special treatment of an automatic exemption from detention if they did not commit violence on that particular day”
• observing clear error will be found only where “the reviewing court on the entire evidence is left with the definite and firm conviction that a mistake has been committed” (quoting Munchel, 991 F.3d at 1282)
