PART I -- FINDINGS OF FACT

9 a felony that was committed after the defendant had been convicted of two or more prior federal offenses

described in 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f)(1)(A)-(C), or comparable state or local offenses.

9 any felony that involves a minor victim or that involves the possession or use of a firearm or destructive

device (as those terms are defined in section 921), or any other dangerous weapon, or involves a failure

to register under 18 U.S.C. §2250.

: In addition:

The defendant submitted the issue of detention. The defendant has ties to a foreign country. There is no evidence of

proceeding.
