week on Odgen Avenue in The
Bronx, was presented on
January 29 before U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Jennifer E.
Willis. Inner City Press was
there. While
Zambrano-Pacheco through his
appointed Criminal Justice Act
lawyer consented to detention,
he expressed concern about his
safety in jail. His lawyer
cited press coverage and asked
for an order directing the
Bureau of Prisons to take
precautions.
Judge Willis after some back
and forth agreed to recommend
to BOP that they be mindful of
security concerns. Jump cut to April

now-indicted case were brought
in, assigned CJA lawyers and
detained on consent. One asked

April 23, when co-defendant
Bello-Chacon, arrested at 8
am, was presented and detained
on consent. On April 28,
another, Luciano, presented
and detained on consent. On April 30, a
mass arraignment. Inner City
Press was there, thread: On February 13,

co-defendant in the case pled
guilty: "Plea entered by

Carrizalez (18) Guilty as to
Count 10s." On March 11
