COURTHOUSE,
Jan 22 –
Brandon Chin is charged with
phoning in threats to the FBI
at 26 Federal Plaza, including
saying he was nearby and had a
gun.
On January
22, 2024 he was presented
before U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York Chief Magistrate Judge
Sarah Netburn. Inner City
Press was
there. The
Assistant US Attorney said
Chin should be detained, as a
danger.
But his Federal
Defender said that he had gone
off his medication due to not
having insurance, and that now
he has it.
Judge
Netburn ordered him released,
saying he should go to
Metropolitan Hospital.
The case is
US v. Chin, 24-mj-261
(Netburn)
