Caproni from Attorney Deanna Paul, Attorneys for Tal Alexander, dated October 20, 2026 re: Following yesterday's conference, we respectfully request the Court's assistance in gathering evidence before it decides whether to recommend that the Bureau of Prisons house the defendants separately. The Government takes no position on this request.... Although we recognize that the ultimate designation decision rests with the Bureau of Prisons, the Court's recommendation could have lasting consequences for the brothers. We therefore ask that the Court have the benefit of these firsthand observations before deciding whether to recommend separating them." Jump cut to October 30 when Deanna Paul, for all three brothers, filed that "At sentencing, the Court indicated that it generally does not recommend that the Bureau of Prisons (“BOP”) allow defendants to remain at the Metropolitan Detention Center (“MDC”) while their appeals are pending. We respectfully ask the Court to reconsider that position because of the unique circumstances raised by this case, where most of the issues on appeal are joint issues affecting all three Alexander brothers. In this context, it is critical for appellate counsel to be able to have joint meetings with all three brothers." Watch this site.  This case is USA v.
