The progressive approach to imposing Marxist rule pioneered by communists like Antonio Gramsci calls for infiltrating and subverting institutions. One key institution is the courts. Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui demonstrates what leftists have been placing on the bench.
Faruqui infamously apologized to Cole Allen for his alleged oppression while incarcerated. Via Fox News:
The magistrate judge who apologized to suspected would-be Trump assassin Cole Allen for his treatment inside a Washington, D.C., jail during a Monday emergency motion hearing has been criticized for his standoffishness with the Trump administration over the city’s crime crackdown, and praised for his career-long commitment to DEI.
“To me, it’s extremely disturbing that he was put in five-point restraints, a person with no criminal history,” Magistrate Judge Zia Faruqui, who devoted much of his career to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, said during the hearing, adding that Allen is presumed innocent.
Sure Allen is presumed innocent. But we all saw him on video.
Faruqui went on to grouse that January 6 defendants did not have to wear five-point restraints.
Barks the moonbat:
“At a minimum, I should be apologizing to him. We are obligated to make sure he’s taken care of. Mr. Allen, I’m sorry that things have not been the way they are supposed to.”
Faruqui is unsurprisingly hostile to ICE for enforcing federal immigration law.

Faruqui is a Pakistani Muslim magistrate judge appointed by Judge Beryl Howell, a notorious leftist, under Barack Obama. While the Muslim magistrate judge, a member of the Muslim Bar Association of New York, had mostly flown under the radar until now, his political tantrums from the bench had begun last year as he fought to protect criminals.
He agreed to dismiss a federal case against Edward Alexander Dana, who allegedly threatened to kill Trump while in police custody. Just the guy to put in charge of the Cole Allen case.
If wacky activist judges are not purged from the bench, they will continue to eat away like termites at the judiciary until it collapses into farce.
