Hearing underway now. Thomas Robertson has a federal public defender, Jacob Fracker has his own lawyer.
Feds are not moving for detention, but are going to request conditions of release. They plan on having the cases precede back in the District of Columbia.
Feds want the cops on GPS monitoring and an order forcing them to stay away from D.C.
Judge says they will be released on unsecured bonds. They are not allowed to have guns in their home, or travel outside the Western District of Virginia (except for D.C. court appearances).

Both are banned from public assembly, demonstrations, gatherings, and protests.
Judge cites their military and police service in denying government’s request for GPS monitoring, saying he believes they will follow his orders.
Just two cops being prosecuted by the counterterrorism section, nothing to see here. https://www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/two-duty-virginia-police-officers-charged-federal-court-following-events-us-capitol
