Overview
- Lisa Miyamoto, 56, made her first federal appearance two days after her Oct. 19 arrest on an allegation she pushed a wooden tambourine into a Federal Protective Service inspector's chest.
- U.S. Magistrate Judge Jolie A. Russo released Miyamoto pending trial with an order barring her from a designated area near the ICE building.
- Defense counsel cited the requirement to bring arrestees before a magistrate "without unnecessary delay" and said recent two- to three-day waits are becoming an issue, which Russo said she would share with colleagues.
- While held about 48 hours in Columbia County Jail, Miyamoto reportedly could not use jail phones, missed several medications, and lacked kosher food, and her lawyer reported injuries from a mass takedown.
- Recent cases include musician Oriana Korol, who spent three nights in Clark County Jail before court, bringing protest-related federal arrests tied to the ICE site to 36 since June.
