is said to be a British citizen who entered this country on a visitor’s visa which has since expired.

He was residing in Kent, Washington, at the time of his arrest. There is little additional

information regarding his personal history, residence, family ties, ties to this District, income,

financial assets or liabilities, physical/mental health or controlled substance use if any.

(2) An immigration detainer has not yet been filed, but it is expected that it will be

forthcoming based on the parties’ belief that the defendant is eligible for removal.

(3) Based on the defendant’s immigration status, he does not contest detention.

(4) The defendant poses a risk of nonappearance due to lack of background

information and immigration status. He poses a risk of danger due to the nature of the instant

offense.

(5) There does not appear to be any condition or combination of conditions that will

reasonably assure the defendant’s appearance at future Court hearings while addressing the danger

to other persons or the community.

It is therefore ORDERED:

(1) Defendant shall be detained pending trial and committed to the custody of the

Attorney General for confinement in a correction facility separate, to the extent

practicable, from persons awaiting or serving sentences or being held in custody

pending appeal;

(2) Defendant shall be afforded reasonable opportunity for private consultation with

counsel;

(3) On order of a court of the United States or on request of an attorney for the

Government, the person in charge of the corrections facility in which defendant is
